Chart problems

There's a chart on this place that says "Average trend line of poll results from September 2016 to present". But it's not a trend line; no averaging is done; it just traces the individual results of each poll. In addition, its horizontal axis is barely labeled. Moreover, because the axis is not spaced by time, months with more polls take up much more space than months with fewer, distorting the visual representation of support over time.

There are many examples on Wikipedia of polling charts that could be used as example for how to execute this better. See for example File:Opinion polling UK 2020 election or OpinionPollingGermanyFederalElection2017 or Opinion polling for the French presidential election, 2017.

Table incomplete

First of all, why doesn't the government/opposition column include the the HDZ+HNS (for the past few months) and instead is left empty? Should be straightforward given the data is available. Second, why isn't the Civic Liberal Alliance included in the table at any point? They aren't polling very high (~1%), but it's probably worth noting in the table (as well as some of the other small parties) given their split from the HNS, as with how the split in the Finns is demonstrated on the Finnish polling article.

Polling average

The 2x1 komunikacije numbers from May 15th aren't the actual poll numbers so I don't see how it makes sense to include them in the polling average. It's obvious they've been calculated by dividing the seat numbers from seat projections with 140 and as such should not be combined with actual poll numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.149.51.144 (talk) 18:36, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IDS

Why was IDS removed from the table? --Tuvixer (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuvixer: Promocija plus of 10 May and 20 May even don't list Restart nor DPMŠ-coalition Braganza (talk) 14:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not made those edits --Tuvixer (talk) 15:16, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuvixer: I have now added two surveys on Individual party standings and ask you if I can now make on this type

I don't see why parties should be listed individually in the coalition table Braganza (talk) 08:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because those coalitions did not exist before the dates in question, so no, you can not make that changes. Thanks --Tuvixer (talk) 09:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuvier: But then the entire table makes no sense until the lists have been decided! Braganza (talk) 10:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The most sensible would be to list the surveys under "Individual party standings" only; like i did Braganza (talk) 10:07, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuvixer: Nice that you obviously ignore the note, otherwise you would have noticed that I wrote that the table in its current form makes NO SENSE
I suggest putting the polls into the "Individual party standings" table until the final alliances are formed Braganza (talk) 12:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

moja-anketa

I have removed the 3 polls recently added by IP users because the source states, they are online polls, made by an non existent polling agency and are obviously praising the MOST party with intent to present fake news that the same party is gaining support which is an obvious and malicious attempt of propaganda. --Tuvixer (talk) 07:20, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
