A series of eight colorful, stacked bar charts arranged in two rows, each chart representing different groups within a hierarchy labeled as "g.RMY," "g.RMO," "g.RWY," "g.RWO," "g.DMY," "g.DMO," "g.DWY," and "g.DWO." Each graph plots the distribution of support levels (x-axis, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) for various items or policies labeled from Q12_A to Q12_P, depicted in multiple colors from blue at the top to green at the bottom. The y-axis represents the inverse logit of confidence interval, varying across charts from 50 to 250. These visualizations are intended to show the confidence in support levels for each item across different demographic or focus groups, with each bar representing the level of support for a specific policy or opinion.P
