In the modern political era, the development of information technology has had a significant impact in changing the way people interact and express their views on political issues, including in the Presidential election.  One of the social media platforms that is often used to debate political and social issues is Twitter. The analysis method used in this research is sentiment and emotion analysis with a lexicon-based approach. The research stages consist of twitter data collection, data preprocessing, and emotion feature extraction.
