  While the statistics are interesting, one of the reasons I love this site is it leaves the politics to the other sites. Not that I am discouraging the avocation of any candidate. I simply came here partially to escape the online political war.

  Hmm. Sounds like Twitter isn't Clinton's demographic. Would be hard to say her unpopularity there reflects similar unpopularity outside of the interwebs...
