This is an amazing stat that shows out of 30,000 views, Ron Paul is more popular with people ages 55-64 than with 18-24 and 25-34 combined. So it's a misconception that Ron Paul supporters and people interested in his message are mostly young people... This stat was pulled from 'We The People' video. If you own a video on youtube please post your demographic stats here so we can compare the results.

Check ronpaul2012.com on alexa.com too. Biggest demographic visiting is 65+. That's why it needs BIGGER HEADINGS imo and advice to 'hover mouse over headings for more options' because older peoples' eyesight is worse than webpage designers'.

Pardon my ignorance but how on earth do youtube and alexa.com know the AGE of site visitors?

scientific polling shows that Ron does not do nearly as well with this age group as he does with the 18 - 30 ish. There are other variables you are not putting into perspective in your analysis. Ron dominates the 18-24 group but that group only accounts for (at most) 10% of primary voters, so anyway you slice it the majority of anyones support will have to come from a demographic other than youth. However, compared to other campaigns we get a larger share of our support from 18-29 yr olds than any other campaign.


i love your enthusiasm, but analyzing web traffic demographics is far less accurate than scientific polling.

Well, when you sign up for a youtube account it used to ask your age, IIRC. So that would be self-reported age, not necessarily accurate.

It's simple. People on the internet get the facts, so they go check out Ron Paul. The older folks who don't get on the internet listen to what the mainstream media tells them. If your only info was from the MSM, you probably wouldn't be as open to supporting Ron Paul. I know it wasn't until my personal quest for knowledge of blow back and monetary policy that I found Ron to be a viable candidate.

This is hardly scientific, and I'm glad Ron Paul gets more support amongst young people, since they're the ones that will inherit society. Of course, it would be even better if he had 100% support amongst ALL people.

I have similar demographics bar chart for two of my RP videos posted about 2 weeks ago. One has 3.5k views, the other 6.5k.

Peak is the 45-54 bar with 30% for each video.

THIS!

I don't think anyone here will argue against that.
