"The majority of the voting public didn't agree with you."
38% is not a majority. I know I'm only a biologist but my maths seems better than yours.


Nope, either your maths, or your use of English is slipping.
"The voting public" means the public that vote.
38% is not a majority of the available electorate.
52% is a majority of the voting public.
