Oversampling of Democrats.

Here's the thing I don't get. Most 2008 polls assume that there are more registered Democrats than Republicans. Let's assume this is true.... however, most of the samples show registered Dems outnumbering Republicans by at least 6 percentage points.

ON WHAT BASIS DO THEY MAKE THIS ASSUMPTION ? Have anyone of these pollsters given any good explanation ?

I think they have a solid basis, an intense hatred by liberals of all stripes for George W. Bush, a cult following of Obama to right every wrong of history and march us into transcendent biracial socialism, and large increases in Democrat registrations. I hope they are missing the tremendous motivation of fear on the part of more traditional Americans, as well as Operation Chaos, and PUMA voters. I really don't know though and it is scary. We need divine intervention with our best efforts.

I believe it is based on new voter registrations and the assumption that the GOP will vote according to 2006 numbers and not 2004 ones.
