Explanation:

Step1: Find the difference in poll votes

First, calculate the difference in votes between Angel Cruz and Terry Smith in the poll. That is \( 483 - 320 = 163 \) votes.

Step2: Determine the ratio of poll to total election votes

The total number of poll voters is 803, and the total election voters is 6424. Find the ratio of election voters to poll voters: \( \frac{6424}{803} = 8 \).

Step3: Scale the poll difference to election

Multiply the poll vote difference by this ratio to get the expected election vote difference: \( 163\times8 = 1304 \).
