Exploratory subgroup comparison selected after examining the October polls; pointwise intervals are not adjusted for that search. Subgroup and overall samples overlap. No independent-versus-all significance claim is made. Independents (self-identified). Independent means the literal party_identity answer Independent; self-ID only. No voter-file fallback or leaner reassignment. Another party is excluded. Democratic, Republican and independent splits use separate self-identification categories. Likely voters in the named October state and district polls; not a national sample or forecast. Pooled figures are respondent-proportional descriptive summaries of separate electorates. Each poll’s subgroup weights are normalized to its answered-question n; repeated people remain in record n but their weights are collapsed for Kish effective n. MOEs are approximate pointwise 95% half-widths in percentage points, without adjustment for exploratory multiple comparisons. They do not include all coverage, nonresponse, recall, calibration or selection uncertainty. Wald intervals can extend outside percentage bounds; an observed zero is not a population zero. Unknown and indifferent answers remain in denominators. Fewer than 50 distinct people is suppressed; 50–99 means interpret with caution.
