­We are given that 60 percent of the people surveyed would vote for Stewart, hence the remaining 40 percent would not vote for Stewart.

Correct explanation, just FYI for those who want to avoid algebra you can work with plugging in a variable like 100 for people x and solve through with numbers. Good luck y'all :)

Great point!

My favorite solution is definitely plugging in numbers and this is a perfect example of how you can quickly and reliably solve the question.
