Comparing a poll to past presidential elections

Allow me to write just a brief note to bring your attention to this interactive graphic by the Washington Post's Kevin Uhrmacher and Chiqui Esteban. It's a dot plot comparing the results of their latest poll with past presidential elections, and it's very nice. Bubble size encodes time from the present.

The Post graphics team has a Tumblr blog, which is what I use to keep an eye on their work. I recommend that you add it to your favorites or RSS reader.
