How do you explain this in Free Republic's breaking news sidebar this morning?

"One factor that may have pulled the party ID more heavily toward Democrats in this poll was early voting. One-in-five respondents (18 percent) said they have already voted, and, of those, almost two-thirds (63 percent) said they voted for Obama."

Bad sample. Just check the spreadsheet and see if that makes any sense. Good work LS.

I don’t have to explain it. I just give you numbers after numbers after numbers. Not REPORTS of what SOMEONE ELSE SAID. I give you the raw numbers. Check it yourself. In our county, “early voting” has been a disaster for the Ds.

Another poster indicated the poll is way off because a different site gave numbers of people who actually turned in their ballot (no party ID on that though IIRC). Not near as many as that poll would indicate have already actually voted.

I will admit, I was concerned with that poll when I saw it posted last night, but it appears to be flawed.
