Winning political party leader character - TV debate round 2

Election Trends delivered by Emiore Trends. Powered by Blueflow technology.

After the second of three Prime Minsterial TV Debates viewers expressed opinions on the BBCs Have Your Say discussion forum. Our sentiment analysis represents over 375 immediate comments on Gordon Brown and Labour Party, David Cameron and Conservative Party and Nick Clegg and Liberal Democrats.

Positive sentiment after 2nd TV debate

For this piece of analysis, we looked to see how closely in context the various party leaders were to a number of relevant key words (chosen by us) that were positive in content. The higher the score, the closer in context the particular leader to these words in the discussion forum. This means that a higher score indicates that the party leader is closer in context to these positive words when used in the discussions on the website, and would reflect the public's opinion on this particular leader.

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.

Election Trends answers ongoing questions of: the publics popularity towards political parties and their leaders, the public perception of the character of the party leaders, and public confidence in the political parties. Election Trends presents ongoing daily election updates on existing topics, with special feature topics.
