Bug fix for polling graphs

I've just deployed a fix to a bug on both the Historical Polling Data and Historical Preferred Prime Minister Polling Data pages.

The graphs on both pages were not rendering correctly due to a library integration problem, causing data points to be spaced evenly rather than proportionally to their dates.

This issue has now been resolved, and the graph should accurately reflect the polling data over time.

If you spot any other issues, please get in contact!
