Is the fact the the percentages are all fucked up. 93+6 doesn't add up to 100 in any country I've been in so what the fuck? Thats not the only case its with any number  most of the time.

99% is what it uses, because there is always 1% of people who don't vote.

Im saying that all the percentages I get from polls never equal 100. They are close but never 100.

Obviously it does not display the decimal value in the poll. If you manually work it out you will get some thing like 99.5+%.

It's probably just that the percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number, so they don't always equal 100.

If the votes were something like: 52.4%, 17.3% and 30.3%, the total percentage would go to 52 + 17 + 30 = 99%.

I have seen many polls that add up to 100. It is simply that the majority of polls do not get even tallies like that.
