Michelle Obama's Twitter audience is 25 per cent fake, according to StatusPeople, along with 21 per cent of Vice6 President Joe Biden's.
 
Another tool, TwitterAudit.com, sampled 320,000 of Mrs. Clinton's followers and found that 18 per cent were fake.
 
The new measurements will add to the Clinton presidential campaign's embarrassment7 following news on Tuesday that a large number of her Facebook fans may represent 'likes' that were purchased rather than earned.
