Social media metrics show ‘surplus of enthusiasm’ for Trump: Tiana Lowe Doescher – Washington Examiner
The web search results indicate a significant engagement disparity between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris on social media platforms. A report highlighted by Tiana Lowe Doescher from the *Washington Examiner* suggests that Trump is experiencing a ”surplus of enthusiasm” compared to Harris, who is showing a “deficit in enthusiasm.”
Recent data indicates that Trump has outperformed Harris in social media metrics over the last 30 days, garnering more likes per post, gaining more followers, and having a larger total follower count on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. This trend is viewed as a reflection of Trump’s extensive media activity, including a higher volume of interviews across various media formats, which has contributed to bolstering his visibility and engagement.
Additionally, the search results also mention a recent debate where Trump’s media shares ”nosedived” after he faced off against Harris, suggesting a complex interplay between their public engagements and social media performance. Meanwhile, polling data shows Harris leading Trump by a notable margin among young voters, showcasing the divergent strengths and weaknesses each candidate has in appealing to different demographics.
while Trump enjoys greater social media engagement and visible enthusiasm, Harris retains strong support among younger voters, indicating a multifaceted electoral battle ahead.
Social media metrics show ‘surplus of enthusiasm’ for Trump: Tiana Lowe Doescher
A new report highlighting the social media growth and engagement figures for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris shows a “surplus of enthusiasm” for the 45th president, Washington Examiner Commentary Writer Tiana Lowe Doescher said.
“It certainly shows a deficit in enthusiasm for Harris and surplus of enthusiasm for Trump, and the fact that Trump and J.D. Vance are both being rewarded for flooding the zone with both interviews on, you know, TV media, digital media, podcasts, they are doing everything and anything,” Doescher said on Fox News’s Fox News at Night.
Numbers released this week reported that in the last 30 days, Trump had more likes per post, followers gained, and total followers on X and Instagram than Harris.
“Tim Walz has been hidden in a closet. Kamala Harris has not taken a single press conference question,” Doescher said. “She’s been barely doing interviews, and, look, if you look at Kamala Harris’s strategy, which voters she’s trying to turn out, it’s all highly educated voters and women.”
“With young men, the Harvard-Harris Poll found that she’s running 11 points behind Joe Biden’s 2020 performance with men younger than 30.”
This demographic is one with a strong online presence, Doescher said.
“Those are men who are very online and coming out for Donald Trump,” she said.
