4. Couldn't Find The Party Breakdown...

It pisses me off that Dems are 89-10 for Kerry and Pukes are 96-2 for Bush...


Must be the old southern Dems who haven't voted Dem since the first Carter run...

5. About 5% more dems than reps sampled

Based on the results by party. Difficult to estimate accurately because we don't have enough precision on the results.

6. This Is How I See The Composition Of The Electorate (nt)

39% Democrat

34% Republican

27% Indy...

but I would sample a bit less Dems to be safe...


Bush is loathed by more people than he is loved and hate is a more powerful force than love...

7. Statistically that's probably pretty close

More Democrats vote in presidential elections and that's a statistical fact. However, the vast majority of polls I've seen have had Republicans oversampled by several points.

8. Some people register the opposite party for primary access

Gotta wonder if somehow that plays into this. I know there were a lot of reports during the primaries of some Republicans changing their registration to attempt to tamper with our primary. Who knows though, I agree that it's probably mostly comprised of southerners that vote Republican but have been registered Democrats for decades.
