If I may, there are a few I would add to your example. I would also remove the major horizontal gridlines and border around the chart, leaving just the x and y-axis in a more muted gray. A good font to use is Calibri or Tahoma for the labels and titles. Another option is to use a horizontal bar with the percentages across the top. Good tips.
