Obama Leading Democrats In Internet Traffic





Submitted by Jason Lee Miller on Mon, 12/10/2007 - 14:30.

If traffic is indication of how Americans feel about the Democratic candidates, then Barack Obama is the clear winner of the online heart.

According to Compete.com, visits to Obama's website jumped 13 percent to pull in 318,179 unique visitors in November, compared to Hillary Clinton's 10 percent drop to 289,615 unique visitors.

Though John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Joe Biden all saw traffic to their websites increase by double-digit percentages (30, 53, and 60 respectively), their overall numbers are still dwarfed by the two frontrunners.

While Obama has an even split of male and female visitors, Clinton's visitors skew female at 56 percent. The largest percentage (26 percent) of Obama's visitors are under 25 years old.

If measured by the number of states that have more heavily visited the frontrunners' websites, Obama leads there too, with 29 out of the contiguous states, compare to 19 for Clinton.

2. Not surprising. Obama has always enjoyed the most enthusiastic, tech-savvy group of supporters.

For those who don't know, there's a really cool site that tracks such matters - http://www.techpresident.com/.
