Tinder users overwhelmingly support a Democrat for president, but are torn between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
The dating app launched a presidential match-up game “Swipe the Vote” in partnership with Rock the Vote earlier this week, and by Friday said it had already tallied tens of thousands of user matches.
The Vermont senator received the greatest number of matches in the ongoing poll, taking 37.8 percent of total swipes. Former Secretary of State Clinton was only 200 votes behind, snagging 37.6 percent.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the most support among Republican candidates, but finished significantly behind Sanders and Clinton with 14.3 percent. GOP front-runner Donald Trump was second with 8.1 percent of users’ support.
On the whole, about 43 percent of women went for Sanders, 40 percent to Clinton and 9 percent to Cruz. Among men, 36 percent went with Clinton, 33 percent to Sanders and 20 percent — double the number of women — matched to Cruz.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich was not mentioned in the poll results.
Tinder did not release further demographic information about its users. The matching project will continue through the election season.
