please explain (being serious- not trolling)...
The sample, per the poll
Dems 44%
Repubs 37%
Ind 13%
Other 7%
It’s a D+7 poll.. not a D+18 poll, as is implied in the heading.. yeah, technically it is 18% more Dems but who has ever looked at it that way?
If it’s D+4, (say 38/34), do you want that shown as 4% more D than R or 11% more? Did Romney lose to Obama by 4 points or 8 points (4 percent divided by his total)
