The prime ministers approval rating is 0.35, while the opposition leaders approval rating is 3/8. Which leader is ahead in the popularity polls and by how much?
To determine which leader is ahead in the popularity polls and by how much, we need to compare their approval ratings directly.
The prime minister's approval rating is 0.35.
The opposition leader's approval rating is 3/8. This can be simplified to 0.375.
Comparing these two values, we can conclude that the opposition leader is ahead in the popularity polls.
To find out by how much, we subtract the prime minister's approval rating from the opposition leader's approval rating:
0.375 - 0.35 = 0.025
Therefore, the opposition leader is ahead in the popularity polls by 0.025 or 2.5%.
