Candidate A is polling well against current Candidate B. The Governor does not believe the polls that are being reported in the media. "All the polls are fake" he tells his campaign strategist. Assuming only Candidate A and Candidate B are offered as choices in the poll and that 50/50 is a reasonable rough expectation of the outcome, and that you want to use a 99.9% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.5% (one half of one percentage point).
