Ron Paul - an even bigger lead...
While I didn't think it possible, eBay sellers listing items for [tag]Ron Paul[/tag] saw an even better conversion rate this week. He is now up to 86.47% and had an even higher sales total of a whopping $4409!!
This week's results for the eBay '08 [tag]Presidential Race[/tag]
Last week I posted an article showing how the race for president is playing out on eBay.com. The chart shows the number of listings, sell-through (or conversion) rate, average price per item, and total sales of items containing the candidates name. Far and away the winner was Ron Paul, with a nearly 80% sell-through and over $3900 in total merchandise sales. This week some movement was made by [tag]Hillary Clinton[/tag] in number of listings and total sales. Barack [tag]Obama[/tag] though slipped back nearly $500 from last week's sales, and all the front runners slid in the average sale price of their items.
I sorted the chart this week to make it even easier to see. I may add a week-over-week column if anyone would like to see it. Please let me know and I'll do what I can. I also added undeclared candidate [tag]Fred Thompson[/tag], just because he is listed on many of the polls and is ahead of [tag]John McCain[/tag] on most of the ones I saw.
eBay reflects the actual [tag]polling data[/tag]
I did some searching for some average poll charts and found the ones at RealClearPolitics.com. Their average is amazingly close to the eBay results with the exception of almost any mention of Ron Paul. The average Democratic polls show Hillary Clinton, followed by Barack Obama, then [tag]John Edwards[/tag]. The average Republican polls show [tag]Giuliani[/tag], Thompson, McCain, and Romney. No Ron Paul though.
This is interesting to watch, and I got lots of great comments last week from all over. Stay tuned... the experiment will continue next week.
