I know it goes with the family of Information Visualisation Charts, but do we call this specifically.

It's a "100% stacked bar chart", see examples here. Only that in your case you have only one bar instead of many.
Here's a bit more on its characteristics that determine how the name is composed:
- 100% because it includes all possible components and they add up to 100%
- stacked, because they all show up on top of each other (as a single line) rather than side by side as conventional bar charts
- it is also horizontal (left implicit above)
- there's also an implicit reference line pointing at the middle
- and clearly it falls into the wider category of bar charts

+1 really nice answer. I assume you do a bit of infographic/datavis design yourself? :)– Michael Lai ♦Oct 6, 2020 at 22:22

@MichaelLai, kind of. I use a lot of exploratory data analysis in my research. More often than not I have to present publicly not only the results, but also how I arrived at them.– maptoOct 9, 2020 at 7:23
