Depends on the sample size.
Good Lord.
Estimate the amount of voters and divide by 100.
Leni
State?
County?
City?
School Board?
Cub Scout Pack meeting?
in 2016, about 140 million people voted.
a percentage point is 1,400,000 votes.
How big is the zit on my buttox?
For example if you are running for mayor in Smith Corners, population 700, and there are 450 registered voters, 400 of which decide to turn out to the polling place and vote, and you win by 1% then your margin of victory would be 4 votes.
You should probably have thought this through before posting. Regards...
How many points will a Brayden Point score if a Brayden Point will score points?
A single percentage point of the electorate that actually votes in a national election is orders of magnitude more than the typical sample size of a polling group or fake news organization poll.
Take Pennsylvania in 2016. Trump got 2,970,733 or 48.58% of the vote. Hillary got 2,926,441 or 47.85% of the vote. The gap was 44,292 votes which was 0.72% of the total PA vote count (or 72 basis points or bp).
So neither Trump or Hillary got 50% of the vote. All that mattered was that Trump has at least one more vote than Hillary. If Hillary lost by one vote, the percentages would have been 48.5778858% for Trump and 48.5778695% for Hillary, or a percentage point differential of 0.000000163%.
I hope that helps.
How many people are in a percentage point? If someone wins an election 51 percent to 49 percent, how many thousands of people does that account for?

Depends on how many people voted (and how often)!
Really?
To ask the question to begin with and then to understand the answer, you have to have some basic knowledge of math. It doesn't appear that you do.
How do you even function as an adult without knowing the answer?
A related question is "How much time would it take to steal that many votes?"
Under normal circumstances, I would recommend that conservative areas not report their vote totals early, but rather wait until almost the last minute. This allows much less time for the liberals to figure out how many votes they need to steal.
With mail-in voting, the Democrats can be standing by with truckloads of fake ballots outside each precinct. They only have to know what total they need and start ordering the adding of the fake ballots late in the day.
Making it even easier on the liberals are the recent rulings that allow ballots to be counted that arrive AFTER election day. This means the trucks full of fake ballots with timely postmarks have several days to figure out how many ballots to deliver to each precinct.
The Supreme Court needs to put a stop to any counting of ballots arriving after election day. Letting liberals know ahead of time how many votes they need to steal is a very serious problem.
Finally, 1% of any number is found by dividing that number by 100. If a million votes are cast in a state then 1% of that is 10,000 votes. If a state has 10 million votes cast, then 1% is 100,000 votes.
I recall that several years ago King County in Washington reported vote totals that exceeded their voter registration totals. Neat trick, huh!
Exactly 1% of the people who were surveyed.
One or more. I’m just sayin’
Thus a result of .51 is 51%. Hopefully that is what you were really seeking.
