"Follower growth is a hot topic surrounding this election and we continue to see growth among candidate''s social media channels with each debate.

He also managed to overtake Trump for highest number of followers on Facebook. Carson led the charge increasing his following by a substantial 72,949 followers on Facebook and 14,313 followers on Twitter," noted Segal.
