That poll was of "adults" -- so for all we know they are all Kerry voters. But this way the pollsters don't have to identify the mix.

what?

[FairOpinion]

When they have polls of "voters" or "likely voters", to make the poll relevant, they poll people in the ratio of actual voters, x% Dems and y% Republicans, to get the right mix.

When they just poll "adults" -- they don't ask them whether they are even citizens, much less, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, so if you say poll adults in a predominently Dem area, or totaly randomly, you don't really get a representative sample.

The liberal media started to do this lately, because they can't get the answers they want, when they poll voters in the right ratio.

They could poll the winos on skid row and it could be legitimately stated, that they polled "adults".
