11+ Dem sample? Are you kidding me? They’re desperate if so.

What is their reasoning for sampling more dems than republicans? I’m sure there must be a method behind their madness they claim publically. I understand what their hidden agenda is for doing it but why do they claim they oversample dems (if they do admit it)?

I don’t know enough about the details. Are there more Democrats, is that why they keep the + Dems so high?

I’ve never heard an explanation for the absurd over sampling of democrats in these polls. Can these firms possibly truly expect this?

How do they go about guesstimating the proportions of party voter turn out? And how can it possibly be the same across all states?

The Dim numbers sure do fluctuate in these rat polls to keep Obama's head out of the water.

I’m not sure whether the biased samples are due to the media trying to bias the polls or a systematic cause for non-response (Romney voters being more likely to hang up because they don’t want to talk to left-leaning pollsters). The strange effect of larger sample polls being more likely to tilt for Romney and smaller sample polls being more likely to tilt for Obama seems to be related, though I’m not sure I can come up with a good model of how.
