### Purpose of this code: plot the proportion of people in each CSES | |
### wave 5 study who can place themselves on a left-right scale. | |
### You will need to have downloaded the CSES 5 data somewhere | |
library(tidyverse) | |
library(ggtext) | |
library(RColorBrewer) | |
library(countrycode) | |
library(hrbrthemes) | |
cses5_locn <- "~/Downloads/cses5.rdata" | |
load(cses5_locn) | |
### Let's pick out only the variables we're interested in | |
cses5 <- cses5 %>% | |
select(country = E1006_NAM, | |
year = E1008, | |
lr_placement = E3020, | |
weight = E1010_3) | |
### Remove missing entries (99) or refused (97) | |
cses5 <- cses5 %>% | |
filter(lr_placement != 99) %>% | |
filter(lr_placement != 97) | |
### Create new variables | |
cses5 <- cses5 %>% | |
mutate(havent_heard_lr = lr_placement == 95, | |
dk_lr = lr_placement == 98) | |
### Get the proportions by country_year | |
cses5 <- cses5 %>% | |
group_by(country) %>% | |
filter(year == max(year)) %>% | |
summarize(havent_heard_lr = weighted.mean(havent_heard_lr, | |
weight), | |
dk_lr = weighted.mean(dk_lr, | |
weight), | |
.groups = "drop") | |
plot.df <- cses5 %>% | |
pivot_longer(cols = c(havent_heard_lr, | |
dk_lr)) %>% | |
group_by(country) %>% | |
mutate(sumvals = sum(value, na.rm = TRUE)) %>% | |
ungroup() %>% | |
mutate(country = fct_reorder(country, | |
sumvals)) | |
### Plot this | |
p <- ggplot(plot.df, aes(x = country, y = value, fill = name)) + | |
geom_col() + | |
scale_x_discrete("") + | |
scale_y_continuous("% of respondents", | |
labels = scales::percent) + | |
scale_fill_discrete(type = brewer.pal(3, "Set1"), guide = "none") + | |
coord_flip() + | |
