Sentiment analysis of major retailers

Hello readers,

In this holiday shopping season, let us look how the retailers have fared in the twitter sentiment analysis scores.

Following retailers were in play:

Wal-Mart @Walmart
Kroger   @kroger          
Costco   @Costco                    
Target    @Target                    
The Home Depot   @HomeDepot  
Walgreen     @Walgreens              
CVS Caremark  @cvscaremark        
Loweís        @Lowes                                    

CVS's twitter handle returned only 1 tweet, so had to remove it from final results.
