The first presidential candidate group on Facebook to gather one million members is 1,000,000 Strong for Stephen T Colbert.

This makes Colbert’s group “the most popular political group on Facebook by far.” It’s twice as large as any other presidential groups on Facebook, including Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack) (just under 400,000 members). After Colbert’s group, the second largest presidential campaign group is Stop Hillary Clinton: (One Million Strong AGAINST Hillary), with just over 500,000.

With 1.1 million members in under two weeks, the Colbert group is unofficially the fastest-growing group in Facebook history. Founded by high school student Raj Vachhani on October 16, the group’s membership swelled to 1,000,000 by Octoboer 26. At this rate, it may become the largest Facebook group in history in just a week or two.

UPDATE: In a Rasmussen poll of likely voters, Colbert is in the double digits as a third-party candidate. Versus Hillary Clinton (45%) and Rudy Giuliani (35%), fully 13% of respondents chose Colbert.
