What Do Your Favorite Websites Say About Your Politics?

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I love infographics. Does this ring true with your social activity and political view?

With this information I wonder if there will be a change in the way both parties campaign - who/where they campaign.

Over the past few months, we’ve crunched countless “Likes” from thousands of users of Trendsetter, our first-of-its-kind platform that ties together polling, social influence data, and consumer preferences.
