Even the NY Times poll oversamples repub leaners

[JPJones]

First off, who are these fucking people who would even
consider voting for Bush?  They have Bush 50%, Kerry 41%,
Nader  3%.

Who did you vote for in 2000?
           Gore  Bush  Buchanan  Nader  Won't say  Didn't vote
  DK/NA
9/12-16/04   28   36     1      1            1          32    
    1

At least this is about right.  
            Republican  Democrat  Indep  DK/NA
9/12-16/04      33        31        29     7

Guess what? We know that more people voted for Gore than Bush
in 2000.

1. yup, this is the same as the CBS poll. nt

[skooooo]

2. what should the samples be??

And how do you know what they should be? (not being confrontational, just want to know)

3. The samples should be 39% Dem, 35% Repub

that's what voter registration records indicate, and that's what has turned out the last 3 presidential elections

4. Well, since Gore got 50% of the vote, and Bush got 50%

of the vote, you would expect these numbers to be equal in the poll. They are way off. If they aren't equal then you have a problem with your method.
