For this piece of analysis, we looked to see how closely in context the various party leaders were to a number of key words (chosen by us). The higher the score, the closer in context the particular leader.
Interestingly, Gordon Brown comes out the best, perhaps reflecting the good personal performance that he gave in this this first TV debate. It also perhaps shows that the criticism of Gordon Brown after the debate is focussed on his policies and not his character traits.
David Cameron scores the highest meaning that he is closest in context to these negative words. Nick Clegg also scored quite highly showing a slight polarisation of opinion - although he won the debate there were also a significant minority who did not like him.
We will continue this analysis over the coming days, by analysing online discussions on the three leaders, and therefore show how trends are forming in the days running up to the election.
