Crazy, democrats think a democrat would handle the economy better, and republicans think a republican would handle the economy better.

I would have never guessed that.

You’re missing the part where 53% thought Trump was better but why would you read the chart?

Is that correct? Can I have a source?

That just says 46% and 53%. I saw those numbers. I asked because I know it's easy to mess this kind of thing up. There's nothing that indicates what that colored breakdown actually is.

Also for stacked bar charts like this the bar is supposed to be proportionally sized. Shit chart all around.

They both add up to 100% of the republicans, democrats or independents who said Harris or Trump.

This is why America is fucked we can’t even read a simple chart.

I garauntee you that's wrong. Independents are 33% not 3%. Can I have the source?

Ohh it's an exit poll. The colored bars represent what proportion voted each way. It's also not labeled but I presume blue is dem and red is rep

It's very hard to explain how that image could mean so many different things.
