Didn't understand how the sentiment analysis works, since results look quite not what I expected. I did a test search on 2012 presidential candidates:
Obama: 44% positive ("barack obama" is 62% though)
Mitt Romney: 67% positive
Michele Bachmann: 50% positive
Herman Cain: 71% positive (?)
Ron Paul: 71% positive
Rick Perry: 81% positive (??)
I am not sure the sentiment calculation is just based on Positive/Negative dictionary comparison or something else. Is there a logical explanation of above percentages? Do results vary for other people?
