On February 19, 2019, he announced on Vermont Public Radio that he was running for the 2020 United States Presidential Election which created waves. On the same day, he announced his campaign in an email to his supporters and in an interview with John Dickerson on CBS news.

Social media played a pivotal role in turning the tides of the 2016 presidential election and we have no incentive to believe that the 2020 election would be any different. So, we at FollowersAnalysis, decided to perform a detailed analysis of Bernie Sanders Twitter performance just to check out his activeness level on Twitter.

Keep on reading to get a brief idea about his various profile performance metrics.

FollowersAnalysis performed a detailed analysis of the past 3200 tweet interactions from Bernie’s Twitter profile. We found that 2212 tweets were originally sent out by Bernie. This is a very good percentage of tweets (69.13%).

The Re-tweet metric stands at 913 which means that out of every 3200 tweets that Bernie sends out, he receives 913 Re-tweets. This too is a very good figure.

Speaking of replies on Twitter, the numbers fall back with only 75 replies sent out that is only 2.34% of the total tweets sent out by Bernie.

The tweet timeline metric systematically compares the number of tweets sent out against the months in which they were sent out. It can be easily observed that since the announcement of him running for the 2020 election, his Twitter activity has gradually increased. In December 2018, he sent out 50 tweets which increased to 135 tweets in February 2019 (announcement month) and 303 in the subsequent month of March.

This shows us that since he made the announcement, he has been gradually increasing his Social Media activities.
