… If you go on social media platforms like Twitter (a second home for many journalists), you’d be shocked to learn that Biden was the frontrunner in the polling so far. Fans of other candidates (especially Sanders) make their presence known quite loudly and can leave you left wondering if the polling is missing something.
My advice: Be very, very careful in looking at Twitter or other social media to understand who is ahead or behind in the Democratic race. The dividing lines in the Democratic primary are such that they expose social media’s weaknesses in accurately capturing the sentiment of the Democratic electorate. CONT.
