Benson Schliesser: The Presidential Debate, Twitter, and Plodt

Benson Schliesser · 1 year ago

BTW, it's clear that this isn't a balanced or normalized survey; Twitter users apparently lean towards Obama. Or, at least, Twitter users that learned about this experiment (i.e. because we follow NPR News) lean towards Obama. Maybe next election there will be a website that can manage this polling more scientifically, while maintaining the sort of open participation that Twitter has enabled. That will be fun.
