Answer 1

To find the margin of victory in percentages between the Republican and Democrat percentages, you subtract the Democrat percentage from the Republican percentage.

Given:
- Democrat percentage (Dem) = 40.8%
- Republican percentage (Rep) = 54.8%

Margin of victory = Rep - Dem
Margin of victory = 54.8% - 40.8%
Margin of victory = 14.0%

Therefore, the margin of victory is **14.0%**.
