Facebook fanbase reveals shortcomings in Democrat's 2016 bid

Hillary Clinton is the de facto face of the Democrat party's aspirations for the presidency in 2016, but you wouldn't know that by looking at her Facebook pages.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The single largest percentage of Clinton's fans aren't even from the United States, in fact a startling 7 percent of her total fanbase lists Baghdad as their hometown, almost twice the number of fans from her second most popular market, Chicago and New York with 4 percent each.

Give the word of God to a friend or love one, and gift them with wisdom and love.

In fact, Clinton is not favored in areas usually held by Democrats. Her largest amount of fans come from the American south and Texas, not the coastal regions that often favor liberal Democrats.

Texans in Houston, Dallas (3 percent each), Austin and San Antonio (2 percent each) make up a whopping 10 percent of Clinton's structure. Los Angeles gives her just 3 percent of her supporters, and Atlanta makes up another 2 percent. Philadelphia is the final city in her top ten, with another 2 percent.

Per capita, those in Texas, Kentucky, Ohio, Arkansas, North Carolina and Wisconsin are far more likely to be her fans on Facebook than any other U.S. resident of the other 44 states.

Youth, a demographic that was key to President Barack Obama's victories in 2008 and 2012 are also not thrilled with Clinton's prospects. Tech-savvy young Americans are not fans of Clinton, and only 8 percent of her fans are female between the ages of 18-34, while men in this same age group make up 11 percent of her fanbase.

Over 66 percent of her female supporters are over the ages of 55, as are 52 percent of her male supporters.

This insight may show cracks in what might have been the strongest single candidate in the 2016 election, and reveal that the liberal-left does not own the U.S. population.
