DONALD TRUMP
2. FIVETHIRTYEIGHT
I'm sure a lot of people already seen this project of FiveThirtyEight. An updating calculation of the president's approval rating, accounting for each poll's quality, recency, sample size and partisan lean. The polls are weighted based on their methodological standards and historical accuracy. It's also interesting to compare the approval (and disapproval) rating of the actual president to the one of the past prasidents, looking at an interactive small-multiple trend line.How popular is President Donald Trump? https://t.co/BpZ96rIxCc— FiveThirtyEight (@FiveThirtyEight) September 10, 2019
3. REUTERS GRAPHICS
The conflictive story of Israel and Palestine has a new chapter with Donald Trump's presidency. Reuters tryed to show it visually. Since Trump took office in 2017, the White House has taken a series of steps that have outraged the Palestinians and delighted Israel. For example in December 2017 Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Maps tell us all the steps toward Israel angered the Palestinians. Trump has so far not embraced the two-state solution, even if the United Nations and most nations around the world back it. Reuters shows which UN states endorse palestinian statehood and who support the two-state solution.Since Trump took office, the White House has taken a series of steps that have outraged the Palestinians and favoured Israel https://t.co/Z6vgYkrd84 pic.twitter.com/cAAZFtKAlO— Reuters Graphics (@ReutersGraphics) September 9, 2019
HOMELESS
4. LOS ANGELES TIMES
Los Angeles is considering banning homeless people from sleeping in different parts of the city. The Los Angeles Times analysed all these sites. With a huge work on maps it's possible to see the impact by neighborhood. It's important to consider that we're talking about a 15,000 homeless population and the ban is specially focused on streets and sidewalks within 500 feet of schools, parks and day-care facilities. A great piece to read and a fascinating graphic presentation.LA is considering banning homeless people from sleeping in huge swath of the city... @ryanvmenezes @stiles @AlpertReyes created an interactive map to show where the homeless would be outlaws.

THE GREAT FLOOD
5. THE NEW YORK TIMES
The New York Times is still on the list! Their graphic department is always full of ideas and interesting project. This week they present the story of the flooding that devastated large swaths of the Midwest and the South this year. They made it with a giant composite map. The team ooked at the flooding as a massive, interconnected disaster to take readers beyond day-to-day coverage. Using roughly 2 terabytes of satellite data to produce a single composite image, they created a tour of a very wet nation. The results is (also this time) fascinating to explore.This spring’s flooding in the Midwest and South was so extensive that trying to show it the usual way didn’t really work. https://t.co/6KCMqlBYLx— NYT Graphics (@nytgraphics) September 12, 2019
