If I may criticize...

Your choice of the ticks for the vertical axis is awful. It looks like an Excel graph....

Just use 0,250, 500, 750.

Also, I would reverse the fill gradient in the bars and have the lighter blue at the top (this is a matter of taste).

You may also use too many colors (another matter of taste).

Whoa ... I didn't notice the vertical axis changed! When I made the graph on Sunday, it had nice even numbers. I updated this morning with the new poll results, saved the image, and never bothered to look at it :). I'll add today's tallies and put a fixed axis version up...

As for the gradients, I had them the other way first, but it looked odd to me, so I flipped them. Now you know why I don't do presentation creation for a living :)

If you are going to make this somewhat of a standard feature:
- The yellow number on some of the smallest bars are ifficult to read (yellow on tan).
- This might make more sense as a pie chart.
