With the November 2010 elections quickly approaching, we wanted to take a snapshot of what was buzzing in political news during the tail end of summer. We mined the political articles and sites and blogs in the Pinyadda index and constructed three graphs displaying the top issues, names and terms mentioned by political party in August.
Most mentioned issues
Taxes are the leading discussed issue in the news across both parties. Government and government related issues are most mentioned with conservative tagged news. Likely due to the overturning of Proposal 8 in California in the beginning of August, marriage was the fifth most mentioned issues in conservative tagged news. For liberal tagged news, the war and societal issues including immigration, health and jobs rounded out the top five most mentioned issues in the press.
Most mentioned names
No candidates dominated online news and blogs in August; instead, political media personalities Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin were most discussed. Rep. Charles Rangel’s ethics scandel placed him in the top three most mentioned names in conservative tagged news and George Bush in liberal tagged news.
Most common terms
President Obama and the New York City mosque debate dominated the media in August. Interestingly, if Paul refers to Rand Paul, the data suggests he has made been a very discussed topic in liberal news.
