Excerpt:

Four days prior to an exceptionally close governmental election, a stronger-than-expected October tasks report on Friday stimulated a generally divided response from the applicants competing for each last ballot. The last government joblessness figures prior to Tuesday's election revealed more of the incremental economic development that Obama heralds as continued recovery and Romney labels inadequate. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economy added 171,000 tasks last month and the unemployment rate rose to 7. 9 %, up from 7. 8 % in September after being above 8 % since February 2009-- the month after Obama took office. Exactly how could tasks report influence election?

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
