Hillary Clinton's Twitter PopularityTrends and Patterns


These charts depict the most active tweeters (and tweets) on the subject of the presidential candidate, revealing surprising patterns:

  • Among those most intensely retweeting and "favoriting" posts on Hillary Clinton are Fashionista and Fox Business.
  • Individuals figure more prominently among those actively participating than many major news outlets.
  • While some of the 10 most retweeted lines were from the candidate herself, the one that got the most retweets (at over 81,000) was not.
  • Only 3 of the 10 had hashtags; the rest were quotes or images that must have resonated strongly with the public.

Note: These graphs represent an overall analysis of mentions of "@HillaryClinton" (based on public data available from Twitter), rather than the popularity of the account itself. This methodology provides a wider perspective, since it spans all tweets rather than those from a single source.
