Key thing from that poll was the 19-point gap in party ID. Now either the GOP is being crushed in party ID, in which case the Republicans are in trouble on all levels, or else it’s a very skewed sample. I’m guessing the latter.
GOP Party ID has declined dramaticaly since 2004. This poll is probably worthless this far out, but it may foreshadow a Democratic rout come November.
