Answer:

I would be interested to hear from others here, but first if you draw a venn diagram with two circles, label them A and B for candidates A and B, the intersection will be 25(i.e. number of voters that like both candidates. that means A\B will be 40 (only voted for A) and B/A will be 30 (only voted for B). Of course, 40 + 30 + 25 only equals 95, and there were 100 voters, which means 5 did not vote for either candidate. So that 5 will be outside set A and B. The "At Least" question normally implies the probability axiom P(not E) = 1 - P(E).
