Well, I think the point here is that we do know that both the NewsWeek poll and the Times/CNN poll oversampled Rep's compared to their previous polls.....and also compared to typical voter breakdown on past elections days -
We also know though that the MO is on our side - and that it appears if you use a "normal" voter break-down that GWB is leading by 5pts or perhaps a little more -
The Newsweek breakdown was 37D-31R (or close to that a fellow freeper dealing with polls showed) - This is WAY oversampled in favor of Rep's - (we can't deny this) - a consistent breakdown on the national level is right around 39D-35R (or maybe 36R) -
We have to be willing to admit that - and still break polls down that show GWB in the lead with proper weightings -
The Rass poll seems a little heavy for Dem's....but the Newsweek poll is definitely heavy for Rep's -
