Additional text for "Sentiment Over the Course of the Campaign" #22
We might want to add some text explaining .resample(). Suggestion:
Next, we'll calculate daily and weekly averages using the .resample() method, which allows us to resample a time series. This method is pretty nifty: in this case, we use it in conjunction with mean() to get the average sentiment when grouping data points by day or week!
Tip: If you want some better intuition of how .resample() works, have a look at what sentiment_ts.resample("d") yields on its own!
