"Social justice math?"
ROFLMAO That sounds so crazy you're probably right.

His earlier lead of 47.45-43.56 was 3.89 points, his current lead of 49.01-42.28 is 6.73 points, bounce is 2.84 points, but when you round it looks like 47-44 going to 49-42, a 4-point movement.

But the rounding stuff is petty larceny. Changing the party composition of the sample from 27% Dems, 44% Independents to 37% Dems, 34% Independents is grand theft.
