AB  - The reaction on Twitter to major political events and policy  decisions often differs a great deal from public opinion as measured by  surveys. This is the conclusion of a year-long Pew Research Center study  that compared the results of national polls to the tone of tweets in  response to eight major news events, including the outcome of the  presidential election, the first presidential debate and major speeches  by Barack Obama.
