The last poll at Fox did on this they over sampled democrats by about 12%.
The random samples that pollsters use aren’t really random in other words when they pick out people to call they profile them into different categories and they identify the republicans who are pro and con and the democrats that are pro con or neutral and then as they do additional polls they adjust the sample to make it more accurately but they call the people that they know have a predisposition one way or the other.

So later they will say they created a random poll of so many percent Republican so many percent democrats so many percent independents who they know will say this that or the other… which is their narrative that they are going to promote.

But the reality is the group that they have selected is a subgroup of their pre qualified Republican, Democrat and Independent voters that they can selectively call or contact to get the results that they want.

It’s not truly a random sample. Its demographocally normalized. Only the original sample group was random but as they have winnowed the list via tje demographic interview it’s no longer random... its prequalified.
this is how and why some people get call after call after call because they are on the list of predictable people. Those who are conservative in any group are quite frankly removed from the lists when a progressive narrative is desired..

That’s the long way of saying, they’re fake polls. LOL
