Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s showing on Facebook was about the same as his showing in most polls. Unspectacular.
In the 24 hour period between 12:01 a.m. ET June 24 and 12:01 a.m. ET today 25, 316,000 people generated 542,000 interactions, which include likes, posts, comments and shares. Jindal announced his candidacy first in a tweet Wednesday afternoon and later at a Louisiana rally.
The conservative governor, who’s making a big pitch for the evangelical vote, didn’t come close to what businessman Donald Trump sparked earlier this month. Trump’s announcement generated 3.4 million “unique people” and 6.4 million interactions. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also generated numbers in the millions.
