The pollsters use data from the number of registrations for different parties in the local area. For instance if in your county you happen to have 75% democrat registration then the polls will represent 75% democrats.

So if Acorn is out there stuffing the registration rolls with cartoon characters and household pets then you’re going to get an oversampling of democrats.

That’s my story and i’m stickin to it.

Are you sure they don't try to tweak them further?

Unless Acorn can get somebody to actually vote under these names.
