Abstract
News media often cite Twitter and other social media metrics as measures of public opinion. This study draws on a quota sample (N=420) of adult American Twitter users to determine the representativeness of the Twitter public in relation to the U.S. general population around 14 issues related to the 2016 presidential campaign, and considers implications for news media coverage of the Twitterverse and other social media populations as representations of the greater public sphere.
