24% of a GOP primary population with 10 other candidates in the race, no.
The final numbers in the general election with the GOP base added to Trumps core only had the two candidates a few percentage points apart on election day.
fyi....statistics are based on random mathematical sampling and don't require "large" samples in order to be on target. The entire marketing industry that is responsible for the movement of billions of dollars in the consumption of goods and services will be sad to hear from you that they've been doing it all wrong for years. Maybe you should write them a letter and educate them. Maybe they should stand outside a Casey's store and ask people coming out from buying their pack of Dorals...?
