Spanish sentiment about political leaders: a twitter scrapping (March 2016)

This scrapping is based on a Kris Eberwein work for Super Tuesday. For the chart, I scraped 20,000 tweets that mentioned each candidate and then ran them through a dictionary of positive and negative words to calculate the sentiment score, excluding neutral comments. I used a lexicon dictionary as Hu and Liu Opinion Lexicon, in this case because is in spanish http://timm.ujaen.es/recursos/isol/.

In the next days I'll included more tweets and different approaches for sentiment segmentation.
