If Facebook Likes Were Votes, Ben Carson Would Win The 2016 Election


Infographic from FiveThirtyEight

If Facebook likes were votes, Ben Carson would be winning the 2016 election. But Facebook likes aren't votes, and Ben Carson is in last right now. While he still hasn't dropped out of the race, Ben Carson is trailing John Kasich.



Carson currently has 26% of the Facebook vote, while Kasich has less than 1% of the vote. Why is that? The people on Facebook tend to be low-income and female. Some Facebook pages have also been up longer than others.
