Football fans cringed at Draft Kings adverts, the second GOP debate garnered possibly the most meme-worthy nuggets (to date), and the social media world got what it’s always wanted; a dislike button (sort of). Oh also, Apple released a new iOS (what else is new?).

Those of us in the northeastern United States are experiencing what can only be described as a sweltering Indian summer. In the spirit of all things crisp, temperate and apple-flavored, let’s fall down a rabbit hole of social intelligence data.

You down with GOP?
As you’d expect, the conversation around the CNN debate was huge. The entire conversation garnered more than 1 million mentions online.

The hashtag #CNNDebate accumulated more than 626K mentions.

Examining mentions across debate participants, we can see than Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina ran away with the conversation. Bush led everyone with more than 39K mentions. Fiorina had the second most with more than 37K mentions. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz both registered more than 15K mentions a piece.

Peak Mentions

Like most conversations, this discussion had its highlights and peaks. When we look at the entire conversation minute-by-minute, we can see that the moment that received the most mentions was when Jeb Bush referred to his brother’s presidency and stated, “He kept us safe.” This one minute registered over 5,300 mentions.

The minute that received the second most belonged to Carly Fiorina, when she addressed Donald Trump and his recent comments about her appearance. This moment accumulated over 4,900 mentions.

The third peak belonged to Bush again as he admitted to smoking marijuana. This moment received more than 4,500 mentions.

Interestingly enough, peak mentions of the #CNNDebate hashtag occurred at the same moment Fiorina addressed Trump and his comments about her. The hashtag was used over 4,700 times in that moment.

Sentiment

The overall debate had a positive sentiment as 54.5% of sentiment-recognized mentions were positive.

When we examine each candidate’s sentiment, we can see that Carly Fiorina had the most positive sentiment as 72% of her sentiment-categorized mentions were positive. At no point during the debate did her positive sentiment fall out of the 70s.

Fiorina is then followed by Marco Rubio with 68% of positive categorized mentions, and John Kasich with 61%.

The most negative sentiment belonged to Jeb Bush and Rand Paul as 59% of their categorized mentions were negative, followed by Donald Trump at 54% and Ben Carson at 52%.

She’s followed by Donald Trump whose handle registered over 682 million impressions and Marco Rubio whose handle accrued more than 480 million impressions.

Lastly, when looking at who was driving the conversation, men held the majority of unique Twitter authorship at 59% of authors.

Twitter and Facebook Can’t Agree on Facebook’s Dislike Button
For years Photoshop aficionados have created images depicting the fictional ‘Dislike Button’ on Facebook, but with the news of a possible Dislike Button coming to Facebook for real people expressed their thoughts on the social channel where news travels fastest: Twitter.

It’s been less than a day, but mentions of a Dislike Button have climbed to over 103K on Facebook and Twitter. A large number for such a short duration, but are people excited?
Simply put, yes. The Dislike Button conversation has a positive sentiment of 66% of all sentiment-categorized mentions of the possible, new feature overall.

However, when we examine sentiment across platforms it is clear that Twitter users are more excited than Facebook users. Sentiment-categorized tweets reflect the 66% positive sentiment on Twitter, but Facebook mentions show a negative sentiment with 54% of mentions being recognized as negative.
