From Labor Day until Mother's Day, Donald Trump has dominated Twitter.

Not only did the presumptive Republican nominee rack up massive leads in statewide and national polling before arriving at the doorstep of the nomination, he also received a greater share of the national conversation relative to all other opponents in the race in both the Democratic and Republican parties from the first full week of September 2015 until the end of last week, according to an analysis released Tuesday by Twitter.


Well, that is except for an October aberration when a brief slide in the polls roughly coincided with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders briefly becoming the most chatted-about candidate. That was around the time the Vermont senator declared at the first debate that the American people "are sick and tired of hearing" about Hillary Clinton's "damn emails." Clinton herself has never been the top candidate in terms of Twitter conversation on a national level.

Beginning with the week starting Oct. 24, Trump has been the most buzzed-about candidate in either party, while Clinton and Sanders have traded places several times between second and third place. In the most recent week of data, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz bumped Sanders to fourth the same week a dismal performance in the Indiana Republican primary jettisoned him from the field. Cruz was consistently the second-most talked about Republican candidate nationally from about the time of his strong showings in Kansas and Maine on March 5, before he dropped out of the race on May 3.

Trump has also received the greatest proportion of attention of any candidate, and in most weeks, it has not been a close competition. After winning seven of the 11 states on Super Tuesday, Trump's share of the conversation spiked to its highest level yet, receding through the middle of April until he began to win again, first in New York on April 19 and then in five mid-Atlantic primaries on April 26.

On a state-by-state basis, only Sanders has overtaken Trump at any point in the last two months, in his native Vermont and in Wyoming ahead of the state's April 9 caucuses.
