Predictive Analytics is emerging as one of the popular branch of Machine Learning with huge amount of money spent on to research, build and test models to improve the accuracy of the outcome. In our paper we have implemented different regression models such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Naive Bayes Classifier, and Neural Networks to forecast the result of the US Presidential election 2016. Social media websites have become a very popular communication platform among users. Millions of users share their opinions, extend their support, and vent their anger on various government policies and on different aspects of their life.
