jumped to a lead of 35 percent to 27 percent
He's jumped to a lead of 35 percent to 27 percent in Iowa, almost entirely because of his enormous advantage, 57 percent to 19 percent, among evangelicals.
Can somebody explain when does the sentence meant for "jumped to a lead of 35 percent to 27 percent "

35% of the people polled indicated they would vote for him, compared to the other candidate, whom only 27% of the people polled said they would vote for. Apparently, these poll results are quite a bit higher than the last poll, so rather than a "slight increase" or a "moderate increase," it's a "jump" in the polls. )
