45. Gallup does nothing of the sort.
They do not weight their polls according to party ID, they use a random sample.

Because of this if a Republican looked at the raw data of this poll they would probably claim that they were oversampling Democrats.

When the political winds are moving toward the Democrats, more people identify with Democrats, and vice versa.
