opinion_occupy_wall_street.jpg
[nytimes.com] is the newest crowd-sourced opinion visualization from The New York Times, this time about people's sentiments about the current Occupy Wall Street movement.

The concept is similar to their previous opinion visualizations, like those that were polling about the economic outlook, the , or Osama Bin Laden's death. Here, the answers of participants are represented as small dots, which are mapped against 2 axes: whether they agree on the main goals of the movement, and whether they agree on the methods of the protestors. The background color of each cell and of each matrix cells is determined according to additional qualitative questions that question the main contributors to the current problems of the country.
