Of the proportions of each of those groups as part of the whole.

Indies being roughly 40% of the group, are split evenly.

.5*.4 = .2

Ds being roughly 30%

.3*.85 = .25

Rs being the other 30%.

.06

These are just rough and estimates of the whole, but they are close. That adds up to .51....pretty much what the polls show.
