I love the presentation: Clinton, 45%, Obama, 28%, Neither one, 11%.

Call me silly, but if you take 45% and 28% out of 100%, "Neither
one" would seem to garner more like 27%. 'Course, I'm living in a
fact-based universe. :-)

(FWIW, no way in hell do I believe 45% of Dem voters prefer HRC.
Thay have *got* to be making that **** up.)

Man, I hate early overanalysis of elections. I always felt that the
analyses often swayed voters more than the issues.

In this particular one, however, I was too distracted by determining
when they chose to use the spelled-out numbers "three" or when they
chose to use the digital representation "3". Sometimes they even used
both in one sentence: "three in 10".

Aren't there guidelines for this type of stuff?
