The Political Climate Infographic by GOOD Infographics Is Very Explanatory but Could Still be Better.

The political climate infographic developed by GOOD and Hyperakt is very informative but it could still be easier to use and understand. The data is broken up into three categories titled all americans, democrats, and republicans and the percentages of each that hold a certain topic to be a top priority is displayed on the left hand side in a tiny bar graph. This bargraph has a legend to show what each color means but it is in a separate location and isn't easily identifiable. It also doesn't have the percentages labeled and is hard to compare interests from year to year. The main graph shows topics and americans interest in each for a certain year and is easy to know exactly what you are looking at. This is because there is a caption in the center the states the year, percentage, topic, and category you are looking at. It also lists important events that happened that year to show why interests may have changed. Over all the infographic is very explanatory and easy to use but the bargraph part could be improved.
