Abstract
In this paper we investigate processes associated with formation of public opinion in varies directed random, scale free and small-work social network. The important factor of the opinion formation is the existence of contrarians wich were discovered by Granovetter in various social psychology experiments long ago and later introduced in sociophysics by Galam. We model the emergence of collective decision making by considering N interacting agents, whose opinions are described by two state variable associated with YES and NO. We show that the dynamical behaviors are very sensitive not only to the density of the contrarians but also to the network topology. We compare the prediction of the theory with data describing the dynamics of the average opinion of the USA population during the last six month before the final Obama-McCain election.
