These Charts show why Bernie Sanders is winning the Web [View all]

These Charts show why Bernie Sanders is winning the Web---The insurgent Candidate is winning the online primary



Anyone who has been following the Democratic Primary race can tell you all about how it has quickly transformed into a competition between Hillary Clinton's establishment Democrats and Bernie's alliance of longtime progressives and newly enlightened independents. Both sides have had great victories with Bernie gaining momentum in key swing states and Hillary's enormous rise in the polls upon Biden's announcement that he will not seek the Presidential nomination. But there is one Sanders victory that hardly anyone in the media seems to have noticed; his victory in the online primaries.

These images will cause you to re-evaluate the plausibility of a Sanders victory.

3) His Website beats Hillary's in Popularity.

Alexa is a web traffic analysis and ranking site that allows you to gain an idea of how popular a site is by simply typing in it's domain. As you can see below Bernie's official site, BernieSanders.com is clearly more popular than Hillary's being ranked as the 1578th most popular site in the US while HillaryClinton.com trails at 2,738.



2) BernieSanders.com visitors are more engaged

Not only can the Sanders campaign boast more visitors but higher user engagement. While some may point to Clinton's lower bounce rate as evidence of the same it must be noted that the Sanders site places a lot more content on it's front page and as such the bounce rate does not reflect low user retention. The bounce rate refers to the percentage of visitors that leave the site without clicking to another page.





1) And He's Not Doing badly on Google either

In the graph below taken from google trends Sanders' searches are represented as red while Hillary's are blue. No further explanation is required.
