Fun fact! There's actually a mathematical principle that explains why the numbers add up to 101 here. It's a bit of an advanced concept so it might be difficult for some of you to understand but click here to read the wiki article on this complex and fascinating phenomenon. Cool stuff, right?if anyone had actually bothered to click the link in the OP and read the poll then you would quickly see the actual poll result is as follows:
45% McSally
42% Sinema
13% undecided
however the poll also pushed undecided voters to pick which of the two candidates they're leaning towards, forcing a choice between one or the other. Slightly more undecided voters lean towards Sinema rather than McSally so the 13 points of "undecideds" splits with 7 points for Sinema and 6 for McSally. Add those numbers together, apply that advanced math technique I linked above, and you get the 52% to 49% split. It's somewhat uncommon to see a poll force
all undecided voters to pick a side like this but it's not exactly crazy or unheard of, either.
Like, there are several huge problems with this poll's methodology but the one thing everyone ITT is hung up on isn't really one of them. y'all need to actually read links before commenting
