Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Just curious why Kamala Harris, at 11% is shown after Warren, who also is at 11%...
If they're even in the DU polls, you would think at least their position be shown alphabetically,no?
"Harris" before "Warren"
Am I missing something?

Because it is based on percent... thus the percentage with decimal points must be higher for Warren

(48,993 posts)2. The admins explained earlier that they're rounding to whole numbers in the display there,
but their actual calculations are more precise, so they know that Harris currently has less support here than Warren does.

e.g., 11.1% is greater than 11.2% though still rounds to 11%.

(17,305 posts)5. Warren and Harris have shifted positions here on the DU a few times over the past couple of days
Their support here is almost identical. Just takes a few people to push one in front of the other at this point in time.

(146,317 posts)6. The numbers following the decimal point.
That's what you're missing. The numbers are rounded to the nearest integer digit. Apparently Harris's numbers are lower than Warren's.

(12,165 posts)7. Convince more people to choose Harris and you'll see the order flip
Warren has been steadily moving up in the rankings over the past few weeks. It's no surprise why she's positioned there.
