In conducting an emotion analysis of the social media discussion in the United States about the inauguration, an interesting parallel with a recent poll occurred:
Of the posts that could be analyzed for emotion, 39% of them expressed Joy, where the remaining 61% of posts expressed either Sadness, Disgust, Anger, Surprise, or Fear. These numbers actually parallel closely with an ABC/Washington Post poll conducted earlier this week, which found only 40% of Americans approved of Trump, corresponding with the emotion analysis of social media conversation.
