Abstract:
With the invention of social networks and their popularization, they became platforms of discussion
about various subjects, including politics. During the 2022 Brazilian presidential election, that was
also the case. The Northeast of Brazil, being a highlight of the 2022 presidential elections, was also
the subject of discussion during this period. So, this paper has the intention of analyzing mentions of
people from the Northeast, during the pre-elections and the elections. This project used data
preprocessing, by making use of natural language processing methods and the analysis was made
using exploratory textual analysis techniques and algorithms, such as Word2Vec and the concept of
frequency of distance. Evidences that support the idea that during the election period, the closer it
was from the voting day, the more negative the opinion of Twitter users about people from the
Northeast was were found.
