This literature review comprehensively explains the role of sentiment analysis as a policymaking solution in companies, organizations, and individuals. The issue at hand is how sentiment analysis can be effectively applied in decision making. The solution is to integrate sentiment analysis with the latest NLP trends. The contribution of this research is the assessment of 100-200 recent studies in the period 2020-2024 with a sample of more than 5,000 data, as well as the impact of the resulting policy recommendations. The methods used include evaluation of techniques such as Deep Learning, lexicon-based, and Machine Learning, using evaluation matrices such as F1-score, precision, recall, and accuracy. The results showed that Deep Learning techniques achieved an average accuracy of 93.04%, followed by lexicon-based approaches with 88.3% accuracy and Machine Learning with 83.58% accuracy. The findings also highlight the importance of data privacy and algorithmic bias in supporting more responsive and data-driven policymaking. In conclusion, sentiment analysis is reliable in areas such as e-commerce, healthcare, education, and social media for policy-making recommendations. However, special attention should be paid to challenges such as language differences, data bias, and context ambiguity which can be addressed with models such as mBERT, model auditing, and proper tokenization.
