Talk:Opinion polling for the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary election

Diagram

Thanks for your work on the diagram, @Gbuvn:. I don't understand how it's made, however. On it, SDS is cruising at 30 %, followed by LMŠ at 20 %, yet in the table of polls results, they's not at these numbers at all. There seem to be a 10 % gap between the two. And it's not that one is outdated compared to the other, both are currently around April. Is there an error somewhere ?--Aréat (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

In Slovenia, it seems, pollsters don't deduct people who won't vote or undecided voters so the numbers usually only add up to roughly 65%. Some Wikipedia articles like in Greece directly deduct those people for the table (as described directly above the table). That hasn't been done for this table but I did it for the graph, as stated in the introduction for the graph. If you think, it's not presented clearly enough yet, maybe we could change the wording. --Gbuvn (talk) 16:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Ah, my bad for not reading the information properly, then. --Aréat (talk) 13:16, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Polling graph

from: User talk:Gbuvn (@Gbuvn:)

   a) End the SLS line in May 2021 and start a new PoS line which only includes polls with PoS and ignore polls that count SLS and ACZS separately
   b) End the SLS line in May 2021 and start a new PoS line which includes all polls by adding up the SLS and ACZS numbers
   c) Have a single line called "SLS / PoS" which includes all polls and starts adding up SLS + ACZS at some point
   d) Include all polly exactly as they are presented and have concurrent SLS and PoS lines from May 2021 to present?

(i would personally prefer c) but) i guess d) would be the most accurate one (but without the last Mediana poll without PoS from 29 Nov–2 Dec 2021). This template made it similar.

Which version do you find is the best @Syaz351, Vacant0, Jay Hodec, Slov Bruh, Kahlores, Sredina, WalterII, and Sparrowhawk64: Braganza (talk) 10:28, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Option d Vacant0 (talk) 14:07, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Option e: two years ago I made a left-right arrangement (see sandbox) which, although not very customary on the English Wikipedia, is remarkably good in predicting future mergers (or coalition changes) with limited table breaks. And this includes Slovenia 2019-2021.

That's because the best arrangement is the one that immediately informs the reader of the political spectrum and mergers/breaks through time, without having to go on another page. For this the best is the use of side-by-side columns merged on the later rows using colspan=, which seems to be... option c, unless I misread ?

Among the four options, two seem completely off the mark: b (you don't alter raw data) and a (you don't ignore data for this only reason).

@Kahlores: its about File:Opinion polls Slovenia 2018-2022.svg though i like the left-to-right idea (but which party is more left-leaning LMS or SAB?) Braganza (talk) 17:27, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

My mistake... forget what I just said. I've never edited any polling graph, so my opinion doesn't matter. Kahlores (talk) 19:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
