To find the percentage of people who oppose the law, add the number of people who oppose it from each group: 85 (Democrat) + 45 (Republican) + 60 (Independent) = 190. Then, find the total number of responses: (50+85+5) + (93+45+7) + (35+60+20) = 400. The percentage is (190/400) * 100 = 47.5%, which rounds to 48%.
