Excerpt:

American voters are sharply divided over how things went this year, and they continue to give President Obama mixed reviews.  Meanwhile, voters are almost twice as likely to say Obama will be one of the country’s “worst” presidents as to say he will be one of the “greatest,” according to a year-end Fox News poll released Thursday. Some 42 percent of voters feel 2012 was a good year, while 41 percent say it was bad.  Another 15 percent have mixed feelings.   Some 57 percent of Democrats say 2012 was a good year, while the exact same number of Republicans -- 57 percent -- feels the opposite.  Plus, independents split:  40 percent good, 40 percent bad.   The divide continues on the economy: 79 percent of Democrats think the economy will be better a year from now, while 70 percent of Republicans say it will be worse.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
