_Map of Polls x Multiracial Population

I started with the map of polls for this years elections and with a map that showed the concentration of multiracial populations throughout the territory of the United States of America. With both of the maps in hand, I decided to create a nurb representing the information applied to their geographical location and have them overlap showing the influence they have over each other. McCain is represented by the red, Obama by the blue and the concentration of multiracial population is gray.
The pick of different views gives the opportunity of seeing different interactions of the data.

Map of Polls in Swing States

This map displays the changing polls within the swing states for the democratic and republican candidates for the 2008 election. The map begins in January and runs through November demonstrated on the x axis. The y axis graphs the polled percentage within the state. The z-axis displays how many electoral votes that state has and the location of the state. Florida, the widest, is the south most state with 27 electoral votes while Montana and North Dakota are the thinest and north most states, only having 3 electoral votes each. The wire frame nodes demonstrate when each candidate had an event in that state. The dotted vs solid line wire frame demonstrates the outcome of the 2004 election. Additionally the once solid ribbon becomes wire frame to demonstrate the known vs. what can be estimated.
