In May, Vox’s Matt Yglesias anointed him the president of Reddit for being wildly popular with a small slice of Americans who can’t get enough of a grumpy old man with a Brooklyn accent shouting at George Stephanopoulos about the Nordic social model.

Of course, since then, Sanders has migrated from Reddit into real presidential contender territory, giving Hillary Clinton a scare with his 22-point win over her in New Hampshire.

But before all that, the Pew Research Center decided to peer into the depths of Reddit to get a better sense of how, exactly, presidential chatter was going down.

These internet-savvy supporters are likely not the strongest factor that’s keeping Sanders competitive. But they certainly play a part, and this Pew report helps underscore the fact that to forget them is to overlook a sizable and growing force in presidential politics.
