You are using the entire US Population to calculate your number ! Now we all know that you have not a clue !! Very elementary error an 8th grader especially an intelligent 8th grader would not make .

You need to use the adult population who are actually registered to vote modified by the lesser % who actually bother to vote .
So would you please recite for us again how it is that you are part of the more intelligent better educated segment of the population !
