The impact of presidential candidates on public opinion

SUMMARY:

The Social Listening Lab of the UC School of Communications analyzed Twitter data associated with the presidential candidates' accounts. What is their interaction network? How do we measure the influence of each account in the network? Can we understand their real relevance in the networks? We invite you to a conversation around these questions, on the eve of the elections on May 15 and 16.
