Analysis of Reddit for election predictions #2

Hey Jasmine!

This might be a potential avenue to explore with the project: New Analysis Uses Reddit Data to Accurately Predict Popular Vote Margin of the 2016 Election

It would be tailored towards predicting the results of future elections, but gathering information via a take on overall sentiment would be interesting (especially as we get closer to midterms). Granted the population of Reddit might be a bit biased, but might be cool to explore.

Hey @jaredtconnor!

Thanks for your suggestion (I was sure that no one follows my repo activity 😄 ) It may also be interesting to create a weighted sentiment model based on more social media networks
