Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner may be neck and neck in the polls, but Rauner is winning by a landslide in Facebook activity.
DNA Info reports the Republican businessman's page has nearly 44,000 more likes than Quinn's.
Facebook says more than 11,000 people are "talking" about Rauner on the social media site. Just over a thousand are talking about Quinn.
Why does this matter? Facebook likes correctly predicted 74 percent of the races in the 2010 midterm elections.
