According to analysis by Strike Social, a YouTube ad-tech platform, Clinton’s official YouTube account has posted 62 videos that have garnered almost 7 million views. By comparison, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the No. 2 slot for the Democrats has posted 180 videos that total have amassed 2.4 million views, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s 62 videos have gotten only 287,000 views. The other two Democratic candidates who on the debate stage, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, have not posted any ads on YouTube. Clinton isn’t just dominating her party rivals on YouTube, she’s also far ahead of the most-watched Republican candidate, Ted Cruz. The Texas Senator has gotten just over 2 million views on the 189 videos he’s posted to the site, besting Republican frontrunner Donald Trump who took the No. 2 GOP spot with just 3 videos and 1.6 million views. **Read Next:** [_7 Issues the Democratic Candidates Are Likely to Debate_](http://time.com/4071085/democratic-debate-issues/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4072098/hillary-clinton-youtube-ads/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4072098/hillary-clinton-youtube-ads/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Leads All Candidates in YouTube Views","datePublished":"2015-10-14T03:57:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:45:47.073Z","description":"Hillary Clinton far outpaces both her Democratic and Republican rivals in YouTube viewership.","url":"https://time.com/4072098/hillary-clinton-youtube-ads/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","2016 Election topic","YouTube","Bernie Sanders","Martin O'malley","Lincoln Chafee","Jim Webb","Debates"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta38daa49a7761837/698867d50a4a228b809c683f/h_52203030.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta38daa49a7761837/698867d50a4a228b809c683f/h_52203030.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton campaigns in Milwaukee","caption":"Hillary Clinton campaigns in Milwaukee","creditText":"Tannen Maury—EPA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4072098/hillary-clinton-youtube-ads/","name":"Hillary Clinton Leads All Candidates in YouTube Views"}}]}] ```
