Using the three sample groups, the average approval is 43.6%. Which means, the polls is weighted in the Dems favor.

Which begs the question, why is this the case ? In fact, this seems to be the case most of the time...

That’s not how you determine the average. It has to be weighted or prorated for each group. They dont split evenly 33.33% each. Could not easily find the breakdown on the link though, but sure it is probably not 33.33% each.

They must be using the same numbers from before the election. Maybe we should use the weighting of conservative, liberal and moderate. ....or maybe weighting is impossible to do accurately at this point.

Which is about where Rsmussen has his support. Funny eh? Oversampling Dims is a good way to bump up poll numbers.
