The following table shows the ranking of the candidate websites within the Lifestyle - Politics category in Iowa and New Hampshire based on volume of traffic from each state.

As you can see Barack Obama comes out ahead of all other presidential hopefuls, including rival Hillary Clinton. In the past four weeks, Obama received 31% more visits from Internet users in Iowa than Clinton and 18% more in New Hampshire. Both leading Democrats beat out Republican candidates.

Among all US Internet users, the picture is very different. Ron Paul is way out in the lead, followed by Mike Huckabee. The following chart shows the market share of all US Internet visits to websites for presidential hopefuls.
