Pew Research Center: Ron Paul Most Favorably Viewed Politician On Twitter

[glamourmodels]

A detailed examination of more than 20 million Tweets about the race for president finds that the political discussion on Twitter is measurably different than the one found in the blogosphere-more voluminous, more fluid and even less neutral.

But both forms of social media differ markedly from the political narrative that Americans receive from news coverage, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which examines campaign coverage and the online conversation from May 2-November 27.

And in that campaign discussion on Twitter, one candidate has fared better than anyone else. Congressman Ron Paul has enjoyed the most favorable tone on Twitter of all candidates examined. From May through November, fully 55% of the assertions about the Texas Republican on Twitter have been positive-the highest of any candidate-while 15% have been negative-the lowest percentage of any candidate. That is a differential for Paul of 40 points on the positive side.

Paul is also the most favorably discussed candidate in blogs. While he trails significantly in the polls, and has received less coverage than every Republican candidate except Rick Santorum from news outlets, Paul seems to have struck a chord with some cohort in social media.

This treatment of Paul stands in contrast to that of most of the GOP field, for whom Twitter has been a tough neighborhood. Five of Paul's seven GOP rivals have had negative opinions on Twitter outstrip positive ones by roughly 2-1 or more.

On the other side of the political spectrum, President Obama's negative evaluations on Twitter outweighed his positive ones by 3-1.

Republicans better face the fact (and soon) that if you really want to get rid of Obama, Ron Paul is your only chance. Nominating a deeply flawed candidate with massive baggage like Gingrich, or a flip-flopper like Romney who will get ZERO support from Independents will only get you 4 more years of Obummer. Count on it-

Funny that even when I wrote that I knew if I did end up posting something that trolls like you would seize on that instead of debating the post at hand. Classic disinfo technique.

Nice try though.

For the record though I am still of that wider opinion that it's casting pearls before swine and you all truly deserve your fate so for the most part it still holds true that by and large I have no interest in posting stuff generally speaking, but if I do decide to post something I certainly don't owe some disinfo agent bot like you an explanation.

Only problem is that you don't discuss when someone doesn't agree with your point of view like a true weak minded fanatic.

Doesn't mean he's going to get the votes...I still don't believe he will, even with candidates like Cain and Perry crumbling.

What does my personal point of view have to do with anything? I deal in facts. The fact is the majority of people on twitter view Ron Paul more favorably than anyone else. Discuss that

Ron Paul's solution for America is to go back to 1910.

If you understand the history of the unregulated economy of that day you will understand why this is a regressive plan.

A return to the gold standard would cause a severe depression -- deflation and default or forfeiture of collateralized assets. The "new dollar?"

Be careful what you ask for -- you might just get it.

And who is Pew Research?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pew_Charitable_Trusts

Although today the Pew Charitable Trusts is rigorously non-partisan and non-ideological, Joseph Pew and his heirs were themselves politically conservative. The mission of the J. Howard Pew Freedom Trust was to "acquaint the American people with the evils of bureaucracy and the values of a free market and to inform our people of the struggle, persecution, hardship, sacrifice and death by which freedom of the individual was won." Joseph N. Pew, Jr. called Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal "a gigantic scheme to raze U.S. businesses to a dead level and debase the citizenry into a mass of ballot-casting serfs."[2]

i agree. ron paul can only be popular in the age of the internet, where despite every piece of information in available to them, people are woefully ignorant when it comes to basic historical facts and analysis. everyone is just in an eternal now of junk tv and twitter inanities.

I could explain to you why that may be the case and why it's a completely misleading "study", but you wouldn't care and you'd continue with your name calling and spreading of propaganda and disinformation.

A perfect example of how you don't discuss/debate anything.

[marlboroack]
