FROM A LIBERAL WEBSITE:

But guess what? On Election Day, exit polls showed Republicans matching Democrats 37 percent to 37 percent. Pollsters who assumed that historical patterns would temper the Republican intensity in this year's surveys got it wrong. Those who bet on the data instead of the historical patterns got it right.

Also, keep in mind that the 'historical data' was based on liberal polling firms over the years.

These people picked Clinton to win bigger than he did and Reagan to win by less than he did.

Republicans have always been there.

All you have to do is poll them.

Enjoy TRUTH. IN CAPS.

And if a lot of these Republicans are "mean" like me, well we tend to hangup the phone when liberal time wasters call us.

Looks like they undersampled Democrats as well, by that reasoning. But you forgot one thing: The polls sample from registered voters, not from people who actually do vote. I was asking for your evidence that significantly more than 29.7% of registered voters are enrolled as Republicans. Do you have any at all?
