This poll is taking freedom of speech into levels of fraud. Your protest is very accurate. 29% polled by Newsweek were Republicans while in fact 37% of voters are Republican. They also polled a slight higher number of Democrats and independents when there are really only 30% and 31%.
A great strategy here would be to write Newsweek's sponsors and threaten to boycott their products if Newsweek does not right this wrong.
The purpose of the FAKE POLL is not to inform the public, but to manipulate the public, pacify their everdwindling liberal audience, and justify their biased news coverage.
