Some people are noting that tomorrow night is the season finale, possibly the series finale, of the United States of America. The stakes in this election are so high that Canadians are actively discussing the various goings-on.
Using Sysomos MAP, I’ve conducted analysis of Canadian online activity surrounding the US election spanning October 8 through November 6, inclusive (30 days). My interest is in four key concentrations of Canadian online activity:
- Mentions of Donald Trump
- Mentions of Donald Trump that do NOT include mention of Hillary Clinton
- Mentions of Hillary Clinton
- Mentions of Hillary Clinton that do NOT include mention of Donald Trump
Here is what I found out.
- Trump mentioned more than twice as frequently as Clinton.
- Overlapping mentions factored into 22% of Trump activity, 30% of Clinton.
- Trump mentions on Twitter more likely to be replies (dialog) than Clinton.
- More likely to tweet multiple times about Clinton than about Trump.
- Trump mentions hinge on scandal, conduct and personality; Russia prominent policy issue.
- Clinton mentions hinge on investigations, leaks and Clinton foundation; TPP prominent policy issue.
- Women more likely to tweet about Trump than about Clinton (and, it’s not flattering).
- Ontario dominates provincial activity.
- BC, Alberta and Quebec index slightly higher on Clinton than Trump.
- Negative mentions: 28% of Trump, 23% of Clinton (based on automated sentiment analysis)
