How to quickly analyze public political positions in Twitter?
According to a report by the Pew Research Center, one-third of U.S. adults' tweets
in the months leading up to and following the 2020 election were related to
politics. According to the center's analysis of nearly 1 million English-language
tweets posted by U.S. adults between May 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021, the following
two findings emerged.
1. The majority of political tweets from U.S.
adults are retweets.
U.S. adults often use other people's words
to post about politics on Twitter: 62% of tweets identified as political were
retweets, a much larger share than the 38% of original tweets, replies and quotes.
2. Politics accounts for a higher-than-normal share of American adults'
tweets following major events.
At certain times during the study
period, political content accounted for a higher than usual share of posts from the
Center's representative sample of Twitter users. Some of the most dramatic increases
coincided with major political and social events. For example, in the weeks
following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020,
the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, the U.S. presidential election
and the inauguration of Joe Biden.
After a major event, investigators and analysts often need to understand public
opinion and political positions. This can be a time-consuming and tedious process if
only manual collection and analysis is used. And you can use a third-party social
media analysis tool, Knowlesys Intelligence System, to quickly analyze public
opinion on social media.
