It's been at odd percentages all week y'know. It's just more visible now. It's not the proportion of the population supporting each party, it's just how much, out of 100, the strength of support is...

Even if they had to sum to 100, they could be 29.5 and 70.5, both rounded up. Generally in polls with 3 or more options there's a high chance that the values won't add up to 100.
