By itself that ideological snapshot is silly. Nationally the party registration is roughly 27% (R), 32% (D), and 40% (I) SEE HERE However, the polling sample is the least of the issues for this deconstruction.
Arguing about the construct or methodology of the poll is typically what most people do when they are refuting a media poll. That aspect alone is not the big story.
Look at the polling organization...

Excellent point!
Its one thing to more-or-less trust the polls or poll averages to be somewhat accurate, but you dont have to believe a long-term outlying advocacy/push poll like this one. It had a terrible record in the primaries. I put a certain amount of faith in the polls, but this one has been a joke for over a year now. Ignore it.

Poll Sample
Obama voters 46
Romney voters 32
That is a 14 point spread, and 43% more Obama voters than Romney voters.
In 2012 the result were 51-47, a 4 point spread, with 8.5% more Obama voters.
We are talking a massive con job.
A good case is made here that the NBC/WSJ poll is suspect.
