This month, I originally set out to build on the past three months and build an R visualization from scratch.

However, after working with a single data source the last couple months, I am going to take a different approach: I will do doing weekly analysis with a different data source each time.

An inspiration for this comes from G. Elliott Morris and his ad-hoc deep dives into political data using R.

FiveThirtyEight has a bunch of data available, and I may start there.

Possible analyses include:

• Looking at how endorsements correlate with standings in the polls (combine endorsements data and polling data)
• Doing a trend analysis on Donald Trump’s approval rating
• Compare how Democratic candidates are doing across different states

Happy April.
