Just as i suspected in the thread where the idea was suggested, ames dominates everything else by sheer volume of votes. So I added the column after the total which shows the percentage of to the total which were accumulated at ames. Isn't it interesting who the outliers are and how that came to pass?

Somehow I am confused by your column headers. Could you explain what poll T. Thompson gets 1039 votes? And then gets as a total sum of all polls zero votes? I think you need to clarify this.....

Looking at these numbers, it is obvious that Giuliani and McCain have almost no grassroots support. They are showing well in only two places -- telephone polls of people who are barely following the race, and donations from wealthy individuals.

It should all be one table, but then the code frame would put a scroll bar on the bottom which makes it so you can't see it all at one time.

T Thompson got 1039 votes in the ames iowa poll. His total number of votes in all straw polls is 1151.

At the top of the columns is usually the state the poll was in, though some states have had a couple polls, and some polls have been for organizations like Young Republicans.
