Detailed Analysis

Typical headline: presidential approval at —% (±—)

Simulated estimate: —% (95% CI: —–—%; MoE ±—%)

You replaced —% of the sample with a group that had —% approval (gap: — pts).

Why MoE? We benchmark against the poll's reported margin of error because that's the yardstick the public sees in headlines. A "misleading" verdict here means your scenario's shift exceeds the reported MoE.
