indicator of how voters will vote in Presidential Elections. You

0.914. During the 2012 election, in a survey of 358 Republican
voters, 275 indicated that they had voted for Mitt Romney. The 99%
confidence interval for this proportion is ( 0.7107 , 0.8256 ).
What is the best conclusion you can make from this information that
