This research analyzes public opinion i.e. comments on Twitter accounts @jokowi, @KyaiMarufAmin, @prabowo, @sandiuno into two categories of positive and negative opinions by comparing the text classifier model Naïve Bayes and SVM, and the implementation of The PSO algorithm to obtain optimal accuracy results. The results of the study show Prabowo Sandi won the prediction of presidential candidate with the best accuracy result of 77.00% acquired model Naïve Bayes + PSO, and 86.20% acquired model SVM + PSO, with an increase in accuracy 7.5% on model SVM, And 2.1% on the model Naïve Bayes when compared before done optimization with PSO algorithm.
