In our post, Twitter Follower Growth for the 2020 Democratic Candidates, we used the Twitter follower growth between 2019-01-01 and 2019-08-23 as a proxy to measure popularity of the Democratic candidates and categorized the campaign of each candidate based on their absolute Twitter follower growth into four categories: already popular, big winners, nobody noticed, and beneficial.
In our post, Revisiting Twitter Follower Growth for the 2020 Democratic Candidates, we revisited the Twitter follower growth of all 27 Democratic candidates between 2019-01-01 and 2020-04-18. we created an interactive D3 Twitter follower graph for all 27 Democratic candidates, which can be used to analyze the historical Twitter follower counts and the impact of real-world events like debates, primaries, caucuses, and campaign announcement and withdrawal onto the follower count of each candidate.
