Revisiting The Economic/Social Scatterplot

Revisiting The Economic/Social Scatterplot

"Economic Dimension" "Social Dimension"
IssueWeightSubtopicAvg IssueWeightSubtopicAvg

This is an exploration of the famous "Economic/Social Dimension" scatterplot made after the 2016 election.

You can change the weights of the individual questions and hover over a respondent to see their answers and how that influenced their scores.

(Although note that it's not a simple weighted average, but a weighted average of the subtopic weighted averages, to mimic the original logic as I understand it.)

Data is from the 2016 VOTER Survey, and you can compare the original analysis.

Note: All ties resolve to the more-conservative side.

"Other" includes third-party candidates, blanks, and stated not voting.
