Scatterplots are often used to visualize trends or correlations between variables. This particular plots shows a strong (because the points tightly surround the trendline), positive (because the trend is going up and to the right) correlation between white fertility and Bush's Share of vote. Basically, white women with more children were more likely to vote for Bush. Statistical representations such as this one make it very easy to interpret data.
