That is, what percentage voted for Reid to reduce the chances of Majority Leader Schumer/Durbin?

I suspect a very very low % even knew who Dick Durbin is, and from those numbers it was probably a 50/50 split between liking and disliking him

A bit off-topic but it also seems that my prediction was correct as Reid is still majority leader and it wouldn't be so if he were kicked out.

0.05%? It can't be more than a few hundred political junkies, probably less.

2 +/- 2. People, that is, not percent.

Ordinary people do not think about this sort of thing when they vote.

Half a person. Maybe. Seriously though nobody thinks of this at the polling place.

more orless 3% of the people voted strategical, but less than 0.1% voted so they wouldn't have schumer/durbin as majority leader.

A reasonable percentage probably voted to specifically keep Reid as Majority Leader (because of pork/influence/pride etc), but keeping out Schumer or Durbin? It's not enough to dislike those two, you'd have to be an Angle supporter if it wasn't for them. Who would these people be? Highly informed Republican anti-Semites concerned about the possibility of a Jewish Majority Leader? Special interests who might be hurt by one of them? I doubt there's more than a dozen or so.

There might've been a few Moderate Hero-esque independents who both considered Angle too extreme and consider Reid preferable to Schumer or Durbin, but of course they wouldn't be supporting Angle anyway.
