A review of an article from Investor’s Business Daily and recommended improvements is covered in this presentation. The topic of the article is “Obama Terrorism Grade”, a summary of a survey conducted in early April, 2009 by Technometrica Market Intelligence.
The Results are summarized three ways in the article:
- Overall for all respondents
- By political party

Two presentation methods are used:
- Pie chart
- Two text tables
Weaknesses of the chosen presentation method are covered and recommended improvements are shown.
