Staaten sind so langweilig. Seit einigen Jahren träume ich davon, ein System aufzubauen, das anhand von Umfragedaten politische Einstellungen auf lokaler Ebene vorhersagen kann. Ich habe jetzt mehr Freizeit als früher, also habe ich das Projekt endlich auf die Beine gestellt.
Ich weiß, dass die US-Politik, sagen wir, mit Umfragen und Donald Trump übersättigt ist, aber das ist eine Frage, die den Menschen am Herzen liegt, und daher schien es ein guter Anfang zu sein.

So every county that no one lives in… Makes sense
Edit: of course people live there, but Nebraska is all corn fields, Nevada is all government lands, and no one lives in Wyoming.

Every President’s approval rating drops after being elected. This isn’t showing anything.
So I should live in Vermont and avoid Oklahoma. That tracks.
Of all the states on here, I am most fascinated by South Carolina. That is some fascinating information. Visually, SC looks most like WA or NY, and that’s not the company I would expect (well, I’m not terribly surprised because I’m from there originally and the politics are much more nuanced than gerrymandering and outspokenness would suggest).
On topic: regarding formatting, I’m wondering if the intensity of red/orange might be skewing the perception of disapproval slightly.
Thank you so much. Truly beautiful.
Massachusetts remaining undefeated.
Why can’t I zoom in on that site?
These types of maps really need to remove federal lands. Keep the Native lands.
His approval rating should be lower than this, no
I thought his approval was trending towards 30% overall
I like the second cartogram map in the post vs the original map because it shows where the people are concentrated. First map makes it seem like most of US supports Trump because of the large swaths of land in the center of the US that are in fact very sparsely populated.
Since the interactive map isn’t laid out by county, how were the regions decided?
The orange obviously should have been Trump’s color.
the cartogram conveys it best I think (each dot is 100k people)

I found the table more interesting than the maps. It appears Trump’s low approval is across demographies except for his own voters, which itself is fairly concentrated demographically. Like, white non college voters tend to vote Republican, but approval is only 53%. I would like to see the totals. A lot of people tend to gaslight themselves when they disapprove the leadership, saying they didn’t vote or not remembering how they voted for
When will uneducated old men stop giving??
Do high school graduation rates next.
