How to vote in Approval

[Rob LeGrand]

Joe's Rational Strategy and High-Utility Victory-Median Strategy both make good
sense, but they require estimating each candidate's chances of victory from the
poll.  What's the best way of doing that?

Let's assume that the poll reveals the current percentage of voters who approve
each candidate, for example:

Anderson  51%
Reagan    49%
Carter    33%

And of course the focal voter has his own utilities:

Reagan    67
Anderson  53
Carter    29

Given only this kind of information, how should he proceed?
