7 out of 22 is more than 16%...one of those 7(#6) is kind of ambiguous so let's say 6 from 22 or about 30% give or take, of a decidedly liberal but small sampling of respondents.
In the real world, even if that figure would drop to, say, 20% of the general population, that is a LOT of dissatisfied citizens who are merely falling prey to the two-party elitism and being of the mind that they "have no choice" but to vote against the bigger boob.
Elections have been won by much smaller margins. Just think if even 16% of the undecided or "against the other" voted truly for the candidate they liked, regardless of party affiliation, the change those two keep babbling about might actually occur...
