The Star Tribune's recent article, Survey says state is on the wrong track, used numbers in a way that was not overwhelming.
The lead simplifies a survey's actual findings to say "more than half."
The story then falls into a more specific second paragraph, noting similarities with last year's survey.
The reporter may have used some math to arrive at the numbers, but it is unclear.
The numbers come from a survey from St. Cloud State University. It probably does not include all the numbers from the survey.
