Maybe someone can explain this to me but I was looking at this poll: Link (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/docs/2012/InsiderAdvantage_SC_0118.pdf)

What struck me was that Ron Paul only has 2.1% support in the 18-29 age group which seemed very low, but then I said that 101 people were in that group of people polled. Maybe my math is wrong but 2 voters out of 101 or 3 voters out of 101 doesn't correspond to 2.1%.

Newt Gingrich's number (59.1%) of 18-29 year olds also doesn't correspond to an integer, in fact he would need 59.7 people to vote for him in order to have 59.1%. Santorum/Other/Someone else's 12.9% checks out though.

Plus it just sounds weird anyway, Romney really got 0% of the 18-29 voters, and Paul only got 2% but somehow Gingrich got almost 60%? Wouldn't be surprised if some polls are manufactured to show a "Gingrich surge" after the debate but they should at least get their math right haha.
