I don’t understand your numbers. Why should polsters use an even split of dems and republicans if more folks are identifying as dems these days?

"More folks" aren't. That's an arbitrary number the pollsters pick out of their @ss. If anything, the number of independents should go up and the number of each traditional party go down---but that's not what has happened.

Even if they used the primary numbers, it would be dramatically flawed, because so many Republicans "crossed over" to vote for Hillary.
