An interesting application of Twitter analysis is focused on
politics, e.g., gauging the sentiments of users regarding the
current government’s policies, or the most favorable candidate
(or political party) to win an upcoming election. Usually near
to or prior to the election date, the users tweet about their
favorite candidate and their opponents. Some tweets highlight
the events happening around the elections that could be useful
in determining the public opinion of the users, the problems
they face, the challenges they have, and the hopes that they
attach to the future elected government.
