I have a question about the ACORN registrations. When the Dims get there numbers padded by fake registrations, do the pollsters then start changing their sampling percentages based one those false numbers? If so, then the actual percentages between the Pubs and the Dims are not accurate and the Dims are being over polled, and therefore are the polls are WRONG, right????

BINGO! It's called "weighting the sample."

Yes...that’s what does happen. That’s why it feels like we’re doing better than we’re being told that we’re doing.
