Now it looks like they’ve started under utilizing the Dems. What’s up with that?
Dunno. Perhaps they are basing the poll on the current number of registered dems, reps, and ind?
They all got caught fudging the numbers; the debate gave them the excuse they needed to salvage their reputations after Obumbles gets thrown out of office.
Until the debate all major polls were over weighing the Dems based on the 2008 turnout - which was of historic proportions and will never happen again. And they ignored how high 'the anybody but Obama vote' was. So now they're factoring that in with a +4% R turnout or most Independents going R (like - Broken Glass Voters of 2000).
I don't think its been a secret, except to the MSM, that GOP voters, Tea Party, etc, have been really energized to get rid of Obama. And Dem voters have been down and dejected, plus 'the yute vote' is gone for Barry. Or has turned against him and are now voting for Romney.
Gravis has looked suspiciously R-leaning... so balance that with those D-leaning polls to get the ‘truth’.
They under sampled both D and R and over sampled I in this poll. However the 3 point gap between R and D is reflective in CO Party ID polling.
