Yes, TF appears to be very strong and definitely OTT by some although as HarryGem says some of the adjectives used re Jo are arguably not unreasonable. And there was some recogniton of her achievements in spite of perceived limitations. 

However net net I can see some clear general attitudes to Jo contributing to that 91-9. Alrhough again when betting odds are 4/7 vs 11/8, fairly tight but still a clear favourite, I would expect a vote to be much more clearcut than the betting odds. As Ace indeed acknowledges this is simply a vote as to the likely winner rather than the closeness and even where no agenda / bias in place, it is likely to be quite a bit more clearcut than the 62/38 betting odds proportions. Again, I do though yes accept 91-9 is rarher extreme and accept there may be agenda reasons for that. But say a 75 to 80% vote would not raise my eyebrows against a betting 62% proportion.

 Some bookies now offering evens on Jo.

Yes, she has come in a fair bit TTMan.

I'm traditionally a fraction person (as that is what the UK is generally more used to), but since discovering that site, I have started to do a bit more in decimals. Jo was around 2.77 when the odds first came out, then came in more towards 2.38 (circa 11/8) the next day, but now some, like William Hill and Bet365, offering 2.00 (or evens) as you say.
