Ras isn’t weighting the polls—the reality is that there are just more Ds.
That's not true.
Rasmussen does weight his poll. He uses 39/36/25. And there are in fact more Republicans than Democrats this year.
Gallup just released it's party id/electorate survey on Friday: 35D/36R/29I R+1.
Rasmussen releases his party id every month. Right now it's at R+2.6.

Yeah he did change it to a D+6 model. That irritates me. I think he is scared of showing a romney blowout.

nhwingnut....
why does RAS weight like that then? If his own party ID split is different? Not challenging you, but you have provided some pretty insightful information. Thanks in advance....

You’ve provided specific information, duplicated by “Political Junkie Too”, and yet some don’t seem to want to hear the answers.

I’ve been under the impression that most of the legit pollsters simply report whatever the party representation of the sample happened to be.
