Analysis: Pete Buttigieg is winning the Internet for what that’s worth — which remains unclear
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., spoke at the South By Southwest conference in Austin in March. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 2 at 2:33 PM Much of the political conversation about the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field in recent days has been dominated by two people who haven’t announced that they’re running.
Wow? Who knows. On this metric, Buttigieg leads former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who has not entered the race, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren . Their second- and third-place standing on the social-media-interest-per-article metric didn’t result in variants of the “Interest in ‘Mayor Pete’ is exploding” headline that Buttigieg received.
Buttigieg also has been one of the most-searched Democratic candidates over the past week on Google. Searches for Biden have spiked — also because of those news stories — but Buttigieg is not trailing by much. In last week’s much-heralded Quinnipiac University poll, where Buttigieg received his most support yet — 4 percent — he still trailed Biden by 25 points. Notice, too, that he still trails Warren by a lot, despite outpacing her on “social media interactions by article.” And despite her third-place standing on that metric, she’s only in fifth in the RealClearPolitics average.
