Tumblr Insights: Election 2012 Report

With the U.S. presidential campaign already off to a roaring start, news from the Republican primary contests has been a major topic across Tumblr. As we near another crescendo in Florida, we were curious how the campaign—from the numerous debates and rallies, to election ads and gaffes—has played out so far in terms of the type and quantity of attention received by each candidate on Tumblr.

The first graph shows how frequently each candidate’s name appeared in posts. The second shows other tags most frequently associated with each candidate. We’re most impressed with the viral power of one creative concept blog: When Rick Perry’s Unpopular Opinions sprang up as a parody of one of Perry’s campaign videos, he easily became the most blogged candidate overnight.

Our Insights team will be bringing you more data as the campaigns progress!

Love seeing all the data coming out around the elections. This is how Josh got Matt Santos elected! #WestWing

“Mr. Romney relishes meeting young voters and rarely misses an opportunity to guess their age. “What are you, about 9, 10?” Mr. Romney asked a young boy, shaking his gloved hand in a parking lot in Lancaster, N.H”

I think the NYT needs to brush up on the meaning of the word “voter”

“Here’s what I learned from Christopher Hitchens in the 25 years I knew him. Don’t let anyone else do your thinking for you. Follow your principles to the end. Don’t flinch from the truth. Repeat until the last ounce of strength drains from your body.”

““Digital publishers are creating platforms for brands so they can publish their own content,” he said. “Our job as the platform creater is not to create the generic platform, but to act as the manager, the referee, to help the brands do a better job.””

This morning, Cameron said: “Mr Speaker, everyone watching these horrific actions will be stuck by how they were organised via social media. Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill. And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them. So we are working with the Police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality.”

Following on from this, it was announced that the Home Secretary, Theresa May, would be meeting Facebook, Twitter and RIM (maker of BlackBerry) about their responsibilities in not fueling rioting and other criminal behaviour.

With specific reference to BlackBerry, Cameron said: “The problem was, police were facing new circumstances, in that rioters were using BlackBerry – a closed network – so we have to examine that and figure out a way to get ahead of them.”
