According to this, Romney's likes increased - but the differential is negative.

oops, I'm so conditioned to him losing likes that I just put negative. Force of habit!

I'll change it now.

Maybe time to start tracking Ted Cruz? Not sure which is his official FB, he has 2 with 300k+.

Almost a year since this thread was started and in this past year Rand has gained more than 1.1 million likes, getting near 1.5 million total.

And the campaign season isn't even close to starting yet. He's going into this race with a lot of steam behind him. It's exciting. That list ^ shows he's got the most likes out of anyone who has not been a part of a Presidential campaign.

Monthly update:

Ron Paul seeing huge numbers, numbers he hasn't seen since the 2012 campaign prime.

Romney seeing his biggest increase in likes since his loss in 2012.

Rand seeing his strongest month so far 147k - WOW.

Rubio stayed steady from the month before.

Also added Chris Christie for the first time: He starts off this list at 127k

How did Romney get 11 million facebook "likes?" I don't know a single person who likes him.

- ML

He purchased all his friends.

No offense, but what exactly does this mean? It's already proven the government has software that can easily create a bunch of people on facebook. They can manipulate how many likes any of these people have whenever they want to to give the illusion of likability. I guess it can be a good measure simply for Ron and Rand because we know they aren't getting any of those botted votes, but comparing to the others doesn't seem very fair.

It shows where voter sentiment is trending.

Meanwhile, "Ready for Hillary" surpasses Rand Paul's Facebook page:

Ready for Hillary- 1,693,533 likes · 258,014 talking about this
Rand Paul- 1,630,195 likes · 129,306 talking about this

In before "How can people actually like Hillary Clinton after [insert thing] she's done?"

Here is the two month update since I missed February.

Rand's momentum has come to a halt but he still way outperforms Rubio and Christie. I'm adding Ted Cruz in this now.

Rand is still averaging 1K a day in likes. Which is pretty damn good.

I think that's supposed to be Ted Cruz.

Santorum chatter is picking up on Twitter....ewww.

 

[eleganz]

Monthly update is done. It is interesting because Rand is doing better than Cruz, which means that either Rand's message is more accepted by a wider audience or that the media keeping Rand's name constantly tossed around is developing Rand's name recognition and growing his support base.
