Swipe the Vote Results: The World is #WithHer – Except Russia
India 2 November 2016: The U.S. Presidential election is only one week away and the whole world is watching, weighing in – and swiping.
Last week, we launched Swipe the Vote in 16 countries around the world. Millions of swipes later, Tinder users have matched with one clear winner: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Swipe the Vote, launched in partnership with Rock the Vote, served as one of the largest global polls of millennials in history and yielded some interesting results. As Tinder users weighed in on taxes, gun control, immigration, education and more, the majority in every country matched with Clinton.
