From Datastream:
This week’s two-pronged Chart of the Week may offer more food for debate and thought than it does clear answers.

It may end up proving to be the case, as Reuters BreakingViews suggested in this analysis, that these data points shape the election’s outcome, rather than any views of the lessons of history.
