  Candidate ABC CBS
1       Jeb   4  12
2    Donald  62  75
3       Ted  51  43
4     Marco  21  19
5     Carly   2   1
6   Hillary  14  21
7    Berine  15  19

I worked with a dataset showing the results of a fictional 2016 presidential election poll. While setting it up, I encountered a few issues, like using curly quotes instead of straight quotes and forgetting a comma between "Marco" and "Carly." I also used spaces in variable names like ABC_poll_results, which caused errors in R. To fix this, I replaced the spaces with underscores, and the code worked fine after that. After resolving these issues, the data showed that Donald Trump led both the ABC and CBS polls by a wide margin. The process was simple, and once everything was in the data frame, I could start analyzing the poll results and compare the candidates' performances across the two polls.
