From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Ben Kamisar FIRST READ: NBC poll shows deep partisan differences among social media users Our most recent NBC News poll asked respondents about their social media consumption, and the results told a clear story that doesn't require 280 characters.
Twitter isn't real life – at least when it comes to party identification and political attitudes.
In the poll, 69 percent of adults say they have an account on Facebook, 28 percent say they use Twitter, 27 percent use TikTok and 27 percent don't have an account on any of these social media platforms.
And those who use Twitter and TikTok are more likely to be Democrats than Republicans; are more likely to be Democrats who supported Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren than Joe Biden during the 2020 Democratic primary season; and are – not surprisingly – are more likely to be younger than the general population.

Approve of Biden's job as president All adults: 42% Facebook users: 42% Twitter users: 57% TikTok users: 50% Non-users: 40%
Positive feelings towards Trump All adults: 38% Facebook users: 36% Twitter users: 19% TikTok users: 27% Non-users: 46%
Prefer Democrats control Congress in 2022 All adults: 47% Facebook users: 47% Twitter users: 65% TikTok users: 59% Non-users: 45%
Prefer Republicans control Congress in 2022 All adults: 45% Facebook users: 45% Twitter users: 28% TikTok users: 35% Non-users: 45%
It's all a reminder: If you're getting your political news from Twitter, seeing what's trending on the platform, or trying to influence the debate there – you're missing out on a good chunk of the country.
Biden's Great Friday Last Friday was President Biden's best day as president since passage of his Covid relief package back in March.
The House passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill, sending it to his desk to become law. We learned the economy created 531,000 jobs in October, with the unemployment rate declining to 4.6 percent. And on top of it all, U.S. Covid cases and deaths are down from where they were a month ago.
The question we have, almost 72 hours later, is whether the PROCESS of getting that infrastructure bill passed was worth the political cost the Biden White House and the Democratic Party sustained over the last three months.
Much like the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the process overtook the actual policy.
Here was White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain on "Meet the Press" yesterday: "Well, look, I do think the voters sent a message on Tuesday. They wanted to see more action in Washington. They wanted to see things move more quickly. And three days later, Congress responded, passing the president's infrastructure bill. But a lot of work went into getting us there over the past few months."
More Klain: "In my opinion, it's been a rough and tough year and we knew it would be. President Biden has said this all the time. We're in a yearlong effort to dig out of the holes we were left… So I understand that voters are tired. Americans are tired of how long it's taken to get the economy moving, to get Covid under control. I feel the frustration personally myself. I think everyone does. And I think that frustration wears on people. But I think what the American people are going to see is we have put in place the strategies, the actions to turn that around."
