Jobbik’s PM candidate Gábor Vona won the like-competition
Change language:
As we already reported, social media compared gives relatively different results to polls regarding political preferences. 24.hu published a new research done by Ynsight and Ténygyár about how PM candidates perform on Facebook. According to them, Gábor Vona and Gergely Karácsony won the reach- and like-contest ahead of Viktor Orbán. In fact, it seems that it is Vona and the Jobbik who are paid the most attention to on social media. However, Karácsony’s number of followers increased the most in February.
Jobbik’s PM candidate Gábor Vona is the unquestionable winner
Of course, we should understand that Facebook likes cannot be directly converted into votes. Besides, the amount of money spent on advertising considerably distorts the altogether number of post reaches. Ynsight and Ténygyár examined what reactions the PM candidates generated between the 21st of January the 20th of February.
The most active PM candidate was the leader of Jobbik.
Gábor Vona published 125 posts with which he is nip and tuck with Momentum’s president, András Fekete-Győr. Socialist-Dialogue candidate Karácsony (117), green party LMP’s Bernadett Szél (111) follow the leaders. PM Orbán is far behind them with only 31 posts.
Furthermore,
Vona won the contest of likes with more than 203 thousand individual likes.
However, PM Orbán got half of that number on a quarter of posts. Even though Fekete-Győr published just as many posts as Vona, he only got 2.5% of the number of his likes. Besides, Karácsony got the silver medal while only former PM and DK-leader Gyurcsány could get more than 100 thousand likes. For example, LMP’s candidate Bernadett Szél got only 17 thousand, while Együtt’s PM candidate, Viktor Szigetvári received a negligible number of likes.
