46. You said the popular vote was a push, and again, I asked you about the poll.
A statistical tie means "too close to call by our methodology," which is why it's important to ask for the margin of error...as I'm doing one more time.

Ignore leads smaller than the associated margins of error, but most importantly, examine the methodology. Even push polls can be conducted scientifically.
