Why is CNN rounding Sanders's 49.6% down to 49%?

Is anybody else getting a Bush vs. Gore vibe about that?

1. 0 through four rounds down, 5 through 9 rounds up, duh!

But Hillary's the candidate with more campaign advertising money to spend.

2. It was up as 50/50

Went to a commercial and came back as 50/49
Got the same vibe, they got a call from someone
Now they have all night to fudge things up.

3. They're also adding in the 8 "pledged" superdelegates to their final count... having Hillary up

By more of course than the 22-21 it should be currently seen as, as they don't commit their votes til the convention.

4. Because they don't understand rounding.

A lot of people don't.

Most people didn't do very well in math. A lot of people are actually very proud that they flunked algebra the first time out. Even though rounding is something they should have learned by sixth grade.

SheilaT who took calculus at the age of 47 and is very, very proud of the B she earned in that course.

6. They understand the symbolic value of 50-49 vs. 50-50 just fine.

And that means they are misreporting the numbers in a crazy biased manner.

7. Seems like it was only four years ago

when I was rooting for Mitt Romney to end up with 47.49 per cent of the vote, which would "officially" make it the 47 percent he was rooting for!

5. It is currently 49.8% to 49.6%

CNN is full of shite, which is your answer

[mhatrw]

9. LOL. Iowans are socialists is this CNN guy's meme.

[Darb]

8. Hold on, let me get my..........

OK, cool, go ahead.

[mhatrw]

10. Back to 50-50 now. LOL. Math wins.

[mhatrw]

11. Why is no raw vote measured?

[mhatrw]

12. WHAT the FUCK? I turned the channel and when I came back it went back to 50-49!
