Among survey respondents who thought the economy was about the same, what percent were Democrats?
A CBS News poll conducted June 10 and 11, 2006, among a nationwide random sample of 651 adults, asked those adults about their party affiliation (Democrat, Republican or none) and their opinion of how the US economy was changing ("getting better," "getting worse" or "about the same"). The results are shown in the table below.
better same worse
Republican 38 104 44
Democrat 12 87 137
none 21 90 118
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take 87 democrats from the table, who said "the same",
and relate this number to the total in this column "the same" of the table,
which total is 104 + 87 + 90 = 281.
So, the answer is = 30.96% (approximately, with two correct decimals).
Solved.
