Look how much more popular I am than the other guy!

It’s literally a Tucker Carlson deception tactic.

In scientific studies, having the axis match the results is standard behavior. I don't at all think this representation is misleading, especially as the change was significant.

Technically I guess but they're not trying to blow up a 1% difference it's still 55 to 15 that's huge. I don't think in this case they're trying to be deceptive they're just showing the relevant part without a bunch of dead space in the chart
