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)

I quickly looked at the poll and noticed that while they had two pages asking about Trump accusations I did not see (or missed) the word “wikileaks” mentioned...

“Technically” this is true. Thought so.

So you just don’t like the narrative because it sounds even more biased, than a simple “D+...” which has been mocked.

We are in a narrative war and you’re complaining about a “technically true” data statistic because it may seem misleading? Hmm.
