Here is how I see the political ID poll data breakdown for the CNN/ORC national poll published September 10th, 2012:

The original national CNN data, 709 Likely Voters for September 07-09, 2012:

Demographics	Republican	Democrat	Independent		Poll Numbers
Romney	96%	3%	54%	Romney	46%
Obama	2%	97%	40%	Obama	52%
Neither/Other	2%	0%	4%	Neither/Other	2%
No Opinion:	1%	0%	2%	No Opinion:	1%
	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%	Total:	100.0%

CNN/ORC poll, September 7-9 2012, PDF - Page #21 of 48, (Question 1/1A).

The derived poll data presented below for the same national CNN, Likely Voters, n = 709

Rounding the below by plus or minus (0.49%) yields above published (rounded) CNN two digit poll data.

Demographics	Republican	Democrat	Independent		Poll Numbers			Adjusted Numbers
Romney	96.47%	2.51%	53.51%	Romney	45.97%	Romney		50.70%	Romney
Obama	1.51%	97.49%	40.49%	Obama	51.51%	Obama		46.80%	Obama
Neither/Other	1.51%	0.00%	3.95%	Not Sure	1.71%	Neither/Other		1.71%	Neither/Other
No Opinion:	0.51%	0.00%	2.05%	Do not know:	0.81%	No Opinion:		0.79%	No Opinion:
	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%	Total:	100.0%			100.0%

page #21/48

Looks as if CNN/ORC have published a Democrat [ +10.26%] Likely Voter oversampled poll. Just for fun, at the far right of the spreadsheet data is a "what-if" the political ID breakdown was (35%R, 35%D, 30%I) - Romney on top by ~4%.

didn’t I hear that there were now more registered GOP than Dems? If that is true how does CNN explain this monstrosity?

Another tell is that not one Democrat was uncommitted to a major candidate.
