The biggest story of the PeekScore list is the increase in PeekScore (and corresponding ascent up the chart) of Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Perry’s public profile has been increasing dramatically – and his candidacy for presidency is taking the GOP base by storm – with a new poll in New Hampshire backing up these findings.
According to PeekScore, this increase in PeekScore confirms that Governor Perry’s recent growth is corresponding with a noticeable increase in impact in the cyber realm. With such a dramatic jump in PeekScore over a very short period of time is rare, so from PeekYou’s perspective this is perhaps the most interesting development since we started measuring and ranking the candidates in this way.
