NOPE!
You are looking at the difference between the two NUMBERS.
I am looking at the percentage difference between the two numbers.
43% is 16% greater than 37%.
37 x 1.16 = 43
The point is that instead of sampling equivalent numbers of Republicans as Democrats, the pollster samples 16% more Democrats than Republicans. 43% is greater than 37% by 16%

You DON'T measure precentages of percentages unless you are willing to lie about your results.
