Chart listing

This is a listing of available charts, which are embeddable on other sites or blogs. These charts update with new numbers each week.

There are three widths available: "narrow", "blog" and "feature". The narrow versions of the charts are 580 pixels wide; the "blog" versions of the chart are 650 pixels wide; and "feature" versions are 870px wide (and use slightly different styling). All are about 500 px high. To embed these, use slightly larger dimensions. For example:

<iframe src="http://realtime.influenceexplorer.com/charts/spending/1-2-3/narrow/" width="590" height="520" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"> </iframe>
Weekly vs. Cumulative views

For data that's noisy week-to-week, the cumulative views provide a better idea of the big picture. For example, the weekly contributions to democratic Super PACs follows an irregular pattern:

But the week-to-date view makes the bottom line clearer:

The charts do not work on very old web browsers; Internet Explorer 9 or higher is required to view them.
