In the age of social media your online presence can make or break your career. As Governor Bobby Jindal makes his bid for the White House, his accounts are getting a flurry of attention both good and bad.

On Tuesday night in Iowa, Jindal was back on the campaign trail addressing a crowd at a town hall event hosted by his Believe Again supporters.

Hours earlier, Twitter was abuzz with the #askbobby. Simply put: his Political Action Committee wanted people to ask the republican presidential candidate questions.

They came fast and furious:

From Instagram to Facebook to Twitter, Jindal’s presidential run is being met with mixed reaction.

“Every politician dreams of being the “it” topic on social media but not in the way that Bobby Jindal is currently the “it” topic.” He is being pounded, roasted, lambasted,” said Eyewitness News political analyst Clancy DuBos.

Jindal has about 3,000 followers on Instagram, two supporters wrote:

Mammafogg: “Don’t mind the haters, Bobby. They are loud, but your supporters will go quietly into the voting booth. Saw you on Fox yesterday; go on Fox as often as you can.”

Starwarsman78 wrote: “Your my third candidate for president @bobby good luck I support you!”

DuBos says despite the backlash on social media Jindal remains thick-skinned.

“He’s willing to put up with all the lampooning because he figures at some point, people will start feeling sorry for him or taking another look at him. He’s got his audience and it’s not the audience that’s parodying him,” added DuBos.

The social media digs even appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart after Jindal posted a home video announcing his run for president to his family.

“A sign your campaign might be in trouble when you can’t carry the majority of your immediate family,” said Stewart.

“Anything that can reach millions of people instantly has political power,” said Ron Faucheaux. The President of Clarus Research Group – a polling and research company — says social media has become the heartbeat of grassroots campaigning.

“It’s not just the tool of social media that sways voters any more than the tool of television or radio would…it’s the information and the messages that flow through those channels that’s important,” added Faucheaux.
