When people see the news, they want to understand how voters react. Our product will show current polling data in conjunction with keywords from news headlines. Polling information will be displayed on an electoral map. Users will be able to select different candidates as well as different polling sites. Below the map, the users will be given keywords from the news and links to the articles. Lastly, there will be options to select different dates so they can track each candidate’s progress.
