About this political barometer

Semiocast is commissioned by a market research firm to build a monthly ranking of major French politicians on Twitter until presidential elections to be held in Spring 2012. This ranking is published every months in a free daily newspaper and on a TV broadcaster website.

The political bartometer's ranking is based on the number of public tweets that mention each politician (among a list of 140 politicians) and for the first 20 politicians, we determine how many tweets are positive, neutral, criticisms or rejections.

This barometer is our second ranking of French politicians during an electoral campaign. We produced a daily ranking of the top 5 politicians during the 2010 French regional elections that was published by Rue89 online news site.
