Who put Tom Steyer in this poll lol (not a shot at Tom Steyer.)
Trump turning the east wing into a ballroom to eliminate Melania's space as an example.
With this the 4 I would have first suggested have been suggested.

Though I might add the other two films from the Sergio Leone-Clint Eastwood Fistful of Dollars trilogy, and for something cheesy The Quick and The Dead.
Robots who want independence serve as the feared third party and discriminated group that the fascist New Order uses as an excuse to rise.
Yes I think that would have been a much more interesting series of movies.

It should have been the rise of the first order and Kylo falling to the dark side and Snoke in the first film. Not the Starkiller base storyline. And of course no bringing back Palps.
The sequel trilogy should have had a rising tide of totalitarianism as in America and the prequels, not an already in place New Order out of nowhere negating the achievements in the original trilogy.
The approach of bringing back Palpatine was very definitely wrong.

The enemy in Star Wars needs to be fascism seems right to me though, this is the case for all of the good Star Wars properties. Andor especially but also the original series and ROTS

Just needed to be done, so so differently.
Could just replace Zohrans numbers with his yougov neutral+unfavorable then? To match the others.

Lakshyas numbers are almost certainly more accurate but best to compare apples to apples here.
But also I'm excited to see the fixed version.
I don't know why I wasted so much time finding this issue. I need to go touch grass.
The unfavourability of Mark Kelly according to his yougov page is 13%. That does not match what is on your chart. I wonder if you used unfavourability % of familiar from yougov and total unfavourability % from the Lakshya study. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

Zohran is at -14 according to Lakshya's study. Him and Mark Kelly should not be in the same group in the chart!
What specific dataset are you using from that site? There has to be some issue with comparing apples to oranges here.

Mark Kelly has ~+17 net favorability according to Yougov. +11 according to the hill, and pollster data is going to match up much better with Lakshya's data.

The hill has Pete's net favorable at -0.2. So if we put him in here, and assumed the same familiarity as Gavin, the chart would look like this.
I did favorable and not unfavorable.

But I think the bigger bias here is that these are all people with very high unfavourability, even Gavin and AOC. Not sure why people like Pete and Tim Walz weren't polled. You would except a line like this to be centered at 50.
I think you are putting the wrong thing on the y axis here.

Should be % unfavorable of familiar voters and not total % unfavorable.
How dare you claim I'm that old. I'm only 36!
There is nothing wrong with wanting a game like this but a lot that is wrong with critiquing other art because it isn't some other extremely specialized thing that you want.

I despise the Eiffel tower because it isn't a chocolate bar thinking.
People are really missing convos like this on twitter.
He and Gandalf both lack access to high access spells because of too much multiclassing for a spellcaster. Gandalf's got MAD issues additionally as an abjuration wizard 10, divine soul sorcerer 4, light cleric 3 and lore bard 3.
speak with animals + giant eagles = win
important than weighing in on controversial local elections.
I live in NYC and will be voting for him in the next few weeks. But the 2026 house and Senate elections are roughly 1000x more important imo so Jefferies shouldn't be caring about the NYC mayoral election. As the house minority leader, that job and getting votes for swing state Dems is much more
Hakeem Jefferies, who did not endorse Adams in 2021, because endorsing NYC mayoral candidates shouldn't be a part of the job description for the house minority leader whose favorability matters in swing districts far from NYC.
I'm not surprised either but a lot of folks clearly needed to hear this, given how many claims I've seen that he's super popular, and how many people are disputing the main chart by saying that it isn't net favorability, and then ignoring the bad net favorability.
