No sunny NZ on those maps!

MattM

How does this apply to design???

Hooray, For The U.S.A!

That shows how special the U.S. is.

And we don't lead by what other countries think. If that was the case, we'd give up our freedom and economic might like the other countries, and be third world hellhole. Sometimes pictures reveal more about the other countries' views that hold their own citizens down and won't allow them to pursue their dreams.

This list of US-led military interventions may indicate why many countries are interested in a US election:

My thoughts exactly. Guess we just don't count. A measly 4 Million at the edge of the civilised world. Who cares? Hope they'll forget about us too if the start the next global war!

Yes, I noticed that NZ was not shown. Not only not polled, but not even on the map. Ridiculous! NZ, of course, rocks! I can't wait to return to New Zealand -- there is not a cooler country on the planet!

For presentations, the graphics could be better, right? What about a pie chart somewhere or take out all those numbers above the columns? Or at least present NZ in the map!

No, Hooray to the USA, America leads by selfish disregard for other people and profiteering from Indians, slaves, selling to both sides in both world wars, multinational corporations, etc. It has made America very rich and influential but those chickens are coming home to roost, and the good ol' boys are gonna get a whippin'. Or you could change course and put that wealth and influence to good use. Over to you, America.

Brian

Well, I'd say it's no longer "Too close to call". The properly compiled results at http://fivethirtyeight.com/ of all the polls clearly show who is going to win barring any unforeseen media shocks.

I'm glad though, I'm in a country that thinks we suffer when the US choses poorly.

Somehow it also seems to reflect into embassy designs. When comparing the US embassy (a concrete fortress) to the other embassies (nice open, old style mansions), I get some shivers. The US embassy just screams "You are not welcome here" and "We fear you" at the same time. Quite the image to convey..

Gary

What a great set of diagrams, if we get away from the presidential race what we have is great ways of representing world data and I personally can make use of that if I can work out how to do it and recognise situations where they are appropriate!

Others beat me to the New Zealand missing comment bur I did thunk it before I saw the comments!

I wonder what impact is the New Zealand Election, happening on the 8th Nov, having on the US one!*

We are getting a double dose of politics by the time you wade through both lots of election coverage.

* I'm guessing not much :-)

fear public speaking

It's just a dream.Once upon a time.the world have elected a new US president

I hope the US is white in the does-the-election-make-a-difference-in-your-country map because it was not included in the poll, rather than the "no" indicated by the key.

Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. So put on a smile, You'll live through your pain. Posed By gucci handbags
