that's how pollsters push the numbers they want by adjusting the makeup of their survey..... The 2000 election went this way, assuming the validity of the exit polls......

39 Democrat
34 Republican
27 Independent

this would give Bush 44% and Kerry/Edwards 44% based on 2000 turnout

If Independents are at 27%, then in order to get Bush to 42% you need roughly about 42% DEM and 31% GOP

That doesnt seem right
