This sentence provides key pieces of information in a straightforward way:

1. [DATE]: Given that polling data are time-specific, providing the date of reference lets the audience know when these data were valid.
1. [DATE\]: Given that polling data are time-specific, providing the date of reference lets the audience know when these data were valid.
2. Registered U.S. voters: This tells the audience who we surveyed, letting them know the population of interest.
3. XX%: This part provides the estimated percentage of people voting for a specific candidate for a specific office.
4. [YEAR] general election: Adding this gives more context about the election type and year. The estimate would take on a different meaning if we changed it to a primary election instead of a general election.

We can continue adding to our plot until we achieve our desired look. For example, we can eliminate the color legend, as it does not contribute meaningful information with `guides(fill = "none")`. We can also specify colors for `fill` using `scale_fill_manual()`. Inside this function, we provide a vector of values corresponding to the colors in our plot. These values are hexadecimal (hex) color codes, denoted by a leading pound sign `#` followed by six letters or numbers. The hex code `#0b3954` used below is dark blue. There are many tools online that help pick hex codes, such as https://htmlcolorcodes.com/. Additionally, Figure \@ref(fig:results-plot4) incorporates better labels for the x and y axes (`xlab()`, `ylab()`), a title (`labs(title=)`), and a footnote with the data source (`labs(caption=)`.)

What we have explored in this section are just the foundational aspects of {ggplot2}, and the capabilities of this package extend far beyond what we have covered. Advanced features such as annotation, faceting, and theming allow for more sophisticated and customized visualizations. The ggplot2 book by @ggplot2wickham is a comprehensive guide to learning more about this powerful tool.
