Uh no. You have no idea what you are talking about. Really, you should not make idiotic statements like you just did.

I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of high school math dropouts here... A couple knuckleheads here looked at the raw unweighted data and got confused because there were more Dems willing to answer the survey, Not surprising. But there are statistical methods to deal with that, and they explicitly state they then weight the poll based on voter registration, and they explicitly say registration is R+5. To quote from the poll:

" Weighting

The sampling frame used only registered voters. The weighting procedure involved a poststratification technique that adjusted the sampling weights1 of the individuals who answered the questions analyzed to match the proportions in the registered voter database of county"

The only idiotic thing is not understanding the difference between unweighted raw data and weighted poll results.
