Could we maybe get a pie chart for this too?
I do like pie charts/circle graphs to show proportion! Interestingly, the sum of the bars is >100, which is curious for something that is based on percentages. I wonder if that says something about the metrics for the survey. Also when it’s easier to determine slight differences in percentages, e.g. 21% vs 27%.
