That's not true, the X axis is (# of people that voted straight party republican ticket option / total number of republicans and dems that voted straight party ticket option). The Y axis is (# of people that voted Trump but didnt vote straight party ticket option/ total # of people that didnt vote straight party ticket option) - X axis data. The Y and X axis are independent data sets (excluding the subtraction of the Xaxis data) , one does not include the other, one doesnt have to go down if the other goes up and vice versa.
No. The y-axis is (# of people that voted Trump but didnt vote straight party ticket option/ total # of people that didnt vote straight party ticket option) - (# of people that voted straight repub ticket/total number of Dems that voted straight party ticket). It's not a percentage. It's a difference of percentages with different denominators.
Why does your data in column C start with a higher % than column A, but end with a lower percent than column A? If they were the same value, or a constant ratio you would get a straight line. Edit, should say a constant difference, not ratio, since the % is already a ratio.
The real world correlation says that as the X axis % increases, so will the Trump vote on the Y axis, thus negating it.
But the y axis isn't Trump's vote pct. Its the difference between his vote pct and the Repub vote pct. That's the big problem with the analysis.
