Did you read the analysis given by Gallup?

Did you understand it?

You are making the same argument that MoveOn.org made in 2004 when Gallup was "oversampling" Republicans.

An exit poll is not a census, and party ID is not something that should be strictly controlled.

Calling me a liberal "poser" is childish and asinine, I am am merely being consistent.

Go back and look at the same arguments I made a year ago when Gallup was accused over "oversampling" Republicans.

Gallup is a garbage polling firm.

Their polls fluctuate because the do not set a parameter for likely voters and party affiliation.

This is why htey had a 30 point range between Bush and Kerry during the 2004 election.

Kerry +14 in the spring, Bush +16 in September.

They were both garbage because both advantages came as a result of oversampling both sides in each given poll.

I am not being childish.

You are defending an MSM and their biased polling data.

I know ZERO conservatives who would do that.

Being right regarding a biased Newsweek poll would only angry a liberal poser.

Party ID is not something that should be strictly controlled.

Tell that to Scott Rasmussen.

He actually gets elections right because he does not misrepresent Republicans.

For years, MSM polling firms have undersampled Republicans.

If you as a 'conservative' feel comfortable defending Newsweek and CNN, go right ahead.

Enjoy being wrong in the face of facts.
