Darden Restaurants, the company that owns the Red Lobster and Olive Garden chains, saw its net income plunge by 37 percent in the wake of bad publicity about its policies regarding “Obamacare.” Their “revamped menus and new ad campaigns” fell flat and failed to attract more diners. AP
(Americans continues to 'vote with their wallets'!)
Other companies who've tanked due to their public opposition to Obama care: Papa John’s, Applebees, and Dennys...

I might believe that graph if you showed other restaurants who didn't get involved in the debate with stable sales...otherwise, it's highly suspect. The time period makes you scratch your head as well...right around Thanksgiving and the beginning of the holiday shopping season, where people have less money to eat out....hmmmm

If you read the link:
Papa John’s, Applebee’s, and Denny’s were measured with YouGov BrandIndex’s Buzz score, which asks respondents, "If you've heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?" Results were filtered adults 18+ who have eaten at casual dining restaurants in the past month. Papa John’s Buzz score high point for the month came on Election Day – November 6th – with a score of 32. Eight days later, the score had dropped 10 points down to 22, when the spam text lawsuit was unveiled. A few days later, Papa John’s dropped below Pizza Hut’s score and is presently at 4. Applebee’s had a 35 Buzz score on the eve of Election Day, when a few days later, Apple-Metro CEO Zane Tankel told Fox Business News he won’t build more restaurants or hire more people. By November 17th, Applebee’s score had fallen 20 points. As of this past Thursday, their score was 5. After Denny’s franchisee John Metz’s Obamacare comments on November 17th, the chain’s buzz score dropped from 10 down to zero nine days later. However, they have since bounced back to 6, a higher score than both Papa John’s and Applebee’s.

Also compared to last year:
According to the AP, “For the period ended Nov. 25, Darden Restaurants Inc. earned $33.6 million, or 26 cents per share. That’s down from $53.7 million, or 40 cents per share, a year ago.” and In its December 4 warning, Darden cited a backlash against its policies regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as part of the reason for the sales slump.

Ahhh PART of the reason... I'd still like to see comparable sales figures from non-involved parties... People that are politically aware ofter think everyone is like them, in truth most are not...

and you take their word for it??? LOL...again, I want to see the entire picture... Don't you think it's easier to explain away poor sales with something like what they said to cover other possible reasons?? Remember, these people are worried about their jobs just like everyone else

IF you want those figures... then why don't you get them? Why ask me for what YOU want? I'm sure you could find those figures if you really wanted to find them... so again... why ask me for data you seem to need?
