Abstract
The use of social media has shaped the landscape of how voters use and intake media. Social media services like Twitter give political platforms to issues that are traditionally ignored by mainstream televised media. In the research, Twitter is used as a political data tool to better understand how the interactions of a candidate's Twitter platform reflect how the candidate prioritizes issues within their platform. Furthermore, the research goes to suggest how candidate’s future use of social media can be a reflection of winning (and losing!) political platforms.
