Hillary Clinton has more Facebook fans in Baghdad, Iraq than any city in the United States. Maybe the Iraqis remember her voting in favor of the Iraq war back in 2003. Or maybe these are just fake fans via fake accounts to try and bump up her Facebook face total. Also, in total, about 14% of Hillary Clinton’s Facebook fans are government employees.

| Hillary Clinton has more Facebook fans In Baghdad than any US city |
Hillary Clinton’s Facebook pages have an unexpected fan base. At least 7 percent of Clinton’s Facebook fans list their hometown as Baghdad, way more than any other city in the world, including in the United States.
Vocativ’s exclusive analysis of Clinton’s Facebook fan statistics yielded a number of surprises. Despite her reputation as an urban Democrat favored by liberal elites, Iraqis and southerners are more likely to be a Facebook fan of Hillary than people living on America’s coasts. And the Democratic candidate for president has one of her largest followings in the great red-state of Texas.
Hillary’s Facebook pages are also extremely unpopular with younger tech-savvy Americans, with just 8 percent of female fans and 11 percent of male fans aged between 18-34. Most of Clinton’s American Facebook fans are older than 55, including over 66 percent of women and 52 percent of her male supporters.
However, over at her Baghdad base, Clinton enjoys the support of younger Facebook fans with 66 percent of her Iraqi female fans and 67 percent of males aged between 18 and 34.
Across the world, 14 percent of Hillary’s fans are self-reported government employees.
