To find the percent of respondents who are Independent, add the numbers of Independent respondents across all responses: 35 (Favor) + 60 (Oppose) + 20 (Don't Know) = 115. Then, find the total number of respondents by adding all the numbers in the table: 50 + 93 + 35 + 85 + 45 + 60 + 5 + 7 + 20 = 400. Finally, calculate the percentage: (115 / 400) * 100 = 28.75%, which rounds to 29%.
