2. Thanks David!

It looks like a great start! Do you compile these charts yourself?

K/R :hi:

[DavidDvorkin]

3. Yes, I do

I have all the numbers in a spreadsheet, and then I generate the charts from that.

I like the purty colors. Gee, I should play around with colored grids, too!

6. It takes some work to post these ...

I appreciate the amount of time you're spending everyday! I hope you will continue with this. :D

Do you use excel for the charts? I'm wondering how to round off my chart lines to keep them from looking so choppy. Your chart lines are nice and smooth. If you use excel, it's probably in the initial setup of the chart, right?

Thanks! :D

7. Yes, Excel

If you double-click on a line, the dialog pops up for formatting the line. (You can do this at any time, not just when you set the chart up.) In that dialog, you can change the color, thickness, and shape (line, dotted, dashed, etc.) of the line. There's also a check box for a smoothed line.

I've been experimenting with the various dialogs, which you can usually access by double-clicking on something in the chart. There are a lot of options for just about everything in the chart.

10. Great, thanks for the lesson, David! :)

My charts will look much better now, thanks to you. The 3-D options are nice!

4. OH BOY!!!!! here we go five months of this Rasmussen shit.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. YES, INDEED!!!! Since I have "Rasmussen" in the Subject, they're easy for you to not read.

5. Obama always loses support on weekends.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. True, that was the pattern for Rasmussen during the primaries

We'll see if that's the case for the GE.
