Here is just one data that we’ll use. It contains 970K tweets collected from Twitter.
We have 2 different datasets; one is the tweets about Trump, and the other one is for Biden.
We notice how the datasets for Trump and Biden are structured, focusing on key columns like tweet content, likes, and retweets, which might hint at public sentiment. We also observe geographical data like user locations, providing a glimpse into the diverse origins of these tweets.
Interestingly, we consider the potential of this data to unlock insights into public opinion during the election.
