I am looking for the current open research gaps / challenges for predicting electoral results?
- The accuracy of results seems a challenge after the wrong predictions for U.S. 2016 Elections results.
What are the other research gaps and challenges?
Dear Muhammad Bilal,
Currently, many research centers use sentiment analysis by examining the content of comments, posts and news of thousands or millions of users of social media portals and other websites. The sentiment analysis is carried out on large collections of information collected from the deliberately selected many websites and stored in Big Data database systems. This analysis is carried out periodically at specific time intervals to diagnose changes in the main trends of general social awareness, including opinions on specific topics in society.

Dear Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz,
Thanks for giving a quick overview of the current scenario, this will help me in exploring and addressing a potential research gaps.
Improved sampling techniques might help. I don't think they took into account too much the characteristics of urban, suburban and rural populations when they surveyed potential voters. Also exit polling is not entirely reliable as some groups lie on purpose to mislead reality.
