New NBC poll shows deep partisan differences among social media users

Main Idea: An NBC poll says Twitter users are much more likely to be Democrats, showing a sharp partisan split in social media use.

Key Points:

• Most adults have a Facebook account, while fewer use Twitter or TikTok, and about one in four use none of the major platforms.
• Twitter and TikTok users are more likely to be Democrats, younger, and more aligned with Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren than Joe Biden.
• The poll suggests that online debate does not reflect the full country, since social media users are not a balanced sample of the public.
• The article also notes that President Biden had a strong week politically, with the infrastructure bill passing and job growth improving.
