During and immediately after the State of the Union address, the overall reaction on Twitter was more negative than positive and virtually the same as last year\u2019s verdict.<\/a> The Pew Research Center used a combination of computer algorithms and human coding to analyze the reaction<\/a> on Twitter in terms of the topics discussed as well as the sentiment expressed.<\/p>\n\n

That marks something of a shift from a year earlier when the education ranked first, minimum wage ranked second and gun control and the deficit were also in the top five. The 2014 SOTU conversation was also a bit more robust (1.64 million tweets in four hours) than the year before (1.35 million).<\/p>\n\n
