Aesthetically displeasing. I feel like the poll "partisan results" tab should be modified to do that anyway.

It depends on the poll. I think it's cool to see it from a partisan POV but for some issues (trans rights, tax cuts) that are highly partisan then it doesn't make much sense. But I agree that I wished that the side tab could automatically do it.

I do it or don't do it depending on whether I think the results will be meaningfully or interestingly different based on party. Like I'm glad I did it for my Spanish Civil War poll, as the results there varied WILDLY based on party, as I predicted.

Should not be done for polls on Atlas posters, those should always have just the traditional FF and HP options. Nothing more, nothing less.

Otherwise it's mostly fine, and sometimes interesting. I don't do it very often anymore, simply because the Republican sample is often so tiny.

I don’t really have a problem with it but I agree that modifying the partisan results tab to automatically break it down like that would be better.
