Facebook Picks the President

Today we have a President that has an overwhelming level of support from young people. This can be reflected in the number of Facebook likes each candidate had. My question that I want to answer is what is the gap in Facebook likes between old Presidents?

Here are the numbers. The first listed name for each election is the real winner of the election:

2012:
Obama: 33,312,907                     FB Winner
Romney: 12,024,346

2008:
Obama: 33,312,907                      FB Winner
