not going to explain it again but it's not 'oversampling' ~ there really are more folks who self identify as Democrats than as Republicans.

Sad but true.

The randomly chosen people are asked their preferences BEFORE the pollster knows what their party affiliation might be. That comes later.

It ain't 50/50 ~ not even in Free Republic ~ at the moment Conservatives here are outnumbered by the other side(s) ~ you'all need edumacated or somethin',

We have been asked to tend to that later.

It's coming.

+13 Dems in a 2008 voter sample--a HIGHLY elevated "Dem" affiliated turnou---when even that showed only a 6% Dem advantage in affiliation is indeed over sampling and truly grossly distorted.

Between the new Ras polls in MI and WI, even if this poll is off a little, it points to a Romney landslide. You can ignore or try to explain away reality, but the way things now stand, Romney is well up in all the key states.

All polls have found that 40 percent or more of people are conservative, 20 percent or so are liberal. The rest are moderates. So, we should be winning everything in sight. It’s on the fact that the media spews propaganda 24/7/365 that the left is able to win. Even in deep blue states, there are more conservatives than liberals.
