More people identify themselves as DEM but not by 11%. Rasmussen says the margin is very low now. More and more people are identifying themselves Republican. The polls are using older models.
You know one sure way to know you are losing election? Your side sits around complaining about polls. Right now that is legion on our side.
Sorry, but the polls are right. The country HAS become more Democratic - partially due to the fact that Americans tend to LIKE Obama and feel comfortable affiliating themselves with his party. This is a serious problem for us, but just because they loosely identify themselves as Democrats doesn’t mean they will pull the lever for Obama and Democratic candidates. But make no mistake, it makes winning elections more difficult.
I don't know what you mean by "people," but Ras himself did a party identification poll as recently as August. (I believe that only likely voters for November were included, but I'm not sure.) It turned out that there were more Republicans than 'Rats in that group by 3-4 percentage points, about 37-34 in favor of the GOP. There were about 30% independents.
