# Trump petition: Areas most opposed to US President's visit
In January 2017 **Dan Wainwright** [reported on the areas of the UK where most people had signed a petition against US President's visit to the country](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38796357). This was done through analysing data on the petition page.
## Data
* The data is published on [the petition page](https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928) [as a JSON file](https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928.json)
* A [map of the signatures is also available on PetitionMap](http://petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com/?petition=171928), this is generated from the same JSON data
* CSV: [Breakdown by area, snapshot 1000 January 30 2017](https://github.com/BBC-Data-Unit/trump-petition/blob/master/trumppetition_areas_snapshot30jan_1000.csv.csv)
