Residents of four cities are able to vote in an upcoming regional election. A newspaper recently conducted a survey to gauge support for each of the two candidates. The results of the poll are shown in the two-way frequency table below.

Consider the statement, "The two cities with the highest number of respondents, both show more support for candidate A." In the total column, the two highest number of respondents are 471 and 463 which represent Carsonville and Appleton. For Carsonville, the number of respondents who prefer candidate A is 205, which is less than the number of respondents who prefer candidate B, 266. Therefore, this statement is not true.

Consider the statement, "The number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is twice the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas." In the table, the number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is observed to be 266 and the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas is 138. Since 266 is not equal to twice 138, this statement is not true.

Consider the statement, "More residents of Center City responded to the poll than the number who responded from New Thomas." In the total column, it can be observed that 350 people responded to the poll in Center City and 318 people responded to the poll in New Thomas. Since, 350 is greater than 318, this statement is true.

Consider the statement, "Overall, more residents support candidate A than candidate B." The bottom row of the table represents the total number of responses for each candidate. The number of people supporting candidate A is 797, which is less than the number of people supporting candidate B, 805. So, this statement is not true.

Therefore, the true statement is III only.
