Now, Social Animal’s free Election dashboard uses NLP to deliver key data points, articles, top authors, top publications and associated keywords for each candidate. Here’s what you can do with this data-loaded tableau.
News Coverage:
Get an unprecedented view of the attention and coverage of the candidates.
See how many articles were published and how people engage with it. In simple terms, take a look at how much attention any candidate has received. People engage and share news only if that piece of news is attention-worthy.
What voters read can influence their vote. Look at how the media outlets or publications are treating the headlines and see which news outlet produces more content on different candidates. (Image)
Remember: Some articles can mention more than one candidate at a time. When that happens, each candidate gets a credit.
Attention:
Who gets the most attention online? And what kind of attention do the candidates get? Is the news overwhelmingly positive? Disastrously negative or just plain neutral?
Look at how the people have engaged/shared top news articles on different social platforms. Where have the maximum shares occurred? Take a peek into how each candidate’s top news is faring on different social platforms.
What are the sentiments of the articles that are published?
Also, look at how individual candidates have the sentiments stacked against them. On different states.
Why is this important?
- It’s hard to be popular if no one covers you. For example: Kanye West (who is STILL running for President) seems to get the least media attention compared to the top 2 presidential candidates: Donald Trump, and Joe Biden. Even though he managed to stir up attention, media coverage falls short with just 30k articles that mention him by name over a period of 6 months.
At the time of writing,
Articles that mention:
Donald Trump – 732,505
Mike Pence – 20k
Joe Biden – 175,817
Kamala Harris – 23k
- What is everyone talking about?
