How do your friends prefered candidates break down on Facebook?

Kind of interesting. I have about 250 friends but most have not liked a candidates page though I am sure the vast majority of them have a candidate they like. However those who have break down like this: Sanders 30 friends, Hillary 9 Friends, Trump 3 friends and Gary Johnson 3 friends. ( I am from New Mexico which explains Gary Johnson) Some cross over to more than one candidate. This may not bode well for Trump because last time around I had about as many friends who liked Romney as Obama however Trump has as many likes as both Hillary and Sanders combined.

Here is the actual count per page:

Sanders 4,245,499
Hillary 3,577,288
Trump 7,886,161

Obama has almost 49 million right now.

my daughter is for Bernie but her wife is scared and insists we must go with Hillary. Her mother thinks so too. So family is split, but friends and music community are 99% Bernie. Couple of trumps though and couple of Hillary's.
