Umm no.

The Gravis poll here is close to inline with Gallup’s survey when people pick their ideology instead of party ID.

Gallup article - Jan 11, 2016:

Conservatives 37%, Moderates 35%, Liberals 24%

Your basic math isn’t even right. This poll’s ideological totals are 46% conservative (somewhat or strong), not 42% you just said. Thats an overstatement by almost 10% (based off your own example). That is huge bias. It also shorts liberals 1%.

As far as the Dem v Repub affiliation numbers (Dems +7)

here are similar numbers (again from your own source, Gallup)

It shows a 6% gap.
