A and B folks have *some* things in common (such as being conservatives or
liberals). The Z folks are the *other* bunch of folks (liberals or
conservatives).
Initial Sincere poll
26 A
25 B
49 Z
100
How far do A and B folks support each other ???
Do any of the Z folks prefer A(B) ever so slightly (and insincerely) over
B(A) ???
Do any of the A(B) folks prefer Z ever so slightly (and insincerely) over
