It bugs me that this is labeled "All Americans" and "Republicans". Should be "Republicans" and "everyone else that's not a moron".

But that’s not what the data is showing. It is all Americans.

Right, that's what I'm saying. Presenting the data that way makes no sense. Show two mutually exclusive groups so we can see the differences. They're showing A vs A+B. Just give us A vs B.

Oh well the way you phrased this is confusing to me. Since you mentioned the labels specifically. Those are accurate.

In terms of the data presented, maybe you’re right that this would have been more useful to us but I assume the creator had some reason for choosing those metrics that made sense in context.
