9.2% Rounds Down to 9%--It Doesn't Round Up to 10%--WSJ Said Double-Digits Needed
Advertisements [?]
OK 9.2% doesn't magically "round up" to 10%. It rounds down to 9%. So Hillary got 9%. But the Wall Street Journal said clearly that Hillary needed "double-digit" gains to "hold off Obama":

The numeral 9 appears to have only one digit. Unless Hillary's campaign intends to repeal the laws of mathematics.
