Either A) 10% or B) 4% would work.

Technically, the margin of error of a poll, in this case +/- 4%, would mean the actual populace might be either 4 points higher or 4 points lower than the reported 7% lead.  So it could be as low as a 3% lead or as high as an 11% lead.  So that's an 8 point range within which the actual voters might fall.

Notably, a study reported in the New York Times in 2016 found that most political polls actually have ended up with about a 6 to 7% margin of error compared to actual voting results.  (That's a range of 12 to 14 points total between the minus end and the plus end.)  So you can't always assume that polling results will predict actual election results.

In the tinker v. des moines and hazel v. Kuhlmeier cases, how did the students' form of expression differ? which topics were the
Vesnalui [34]

In Tinker v. Des Moines, the Supreme Court ruled that the wearing of a black armband in protest of the Vietnam War was not a substantial disruption of the school environment and was therefore protected speech.

It is the first major case to determine the speech rights of students.

In Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, the Supreme Court placed a limit on the speech rights of students when it ruled that it was permissible for a school to censor the actions of a school newspaper.

This is important as it provides a limit on the speech rights of students.

At issue in both cases are how the speech is disruptive to the school environment and many cases since then have hinged on the importance of the speech (protest in Tinker v. spreading gossip in Hazelwood) and the manner in which the speech is undertaken.
