Electronic communication, specifically social media, has had an increasing role in distributing political news and influencing political knowledge within the United States over the last two decades. Social media reaches millions of Americans daily and is capable of influencing how much citizens know about potential and current leaders. This study analyzes the role of social media in providing accurate knowledge regarding 2020 presidential candidates, and how this amount of knowledge differs by prefered party. The study will be conducted through a survey-based current events quiz that draws on quantitative data from Americans that identify with different parties. The purpose of this study is to introduce new knowledge concerning the role of social media in the current (2020) presidential election, as well as how informed different parties are about these candidates.
