Parker opened at 67% on day one and simply held: the share cooled into the low 60s by the second week and camped there for the rest of the poll's 93-day run, never once dipping under 61%. Nobody staged a comeback because there was no room to — Parker's final 2,967 votes (63.3%) outnumber second-place Eliot's 752 (16%) by a 47-point margin.

That runner-up spot tells its own story: Eliot's total is barely a quarter of Parker's, and Sophie and Nate are deadlocked behind him at 8.4% each, effectively fighting for third. Both of the top two finishers pulled majority-female support — Parker's voters ran 60% women, Eliot's 72% — while the U.S. and U.K. cores stayed loyal to Parker start to finish.
