Tomorrow, the American people will once again decide who will represent them in the Senate and in The House of Representatives. They will also know who will be the 57th President of the United States. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have tried to convince voters in the midst of a hard economical recovery, war and even hurricanes. In the debates, both candidates alternated good and average performances, increasing the general feeling that this is an election far from being resolved. The polls confirmed that. Washington Post-ABC News’ latest results indicated a technical tie between the candidates.
To look at how the presidential race was being visualized, a couple of weeks ago we gathered 40 interactive infographics and resources about the U.S. Presidential election. Now, in the eve of what promises to be a very close voting, we bring another set of visualizations, most of them produced after our first round-up.
Another topic that was a favorite for visualizations was the campaign financing and spending, and we even included a videoinfographic recently launched by NPR:
