Reweighting polls with skewed samples (that provide enough internals to allow this) can lead to a more accurate result. However, Im not certain that unskewedpolls.coms use of Rasmussens August 2012 party affiliation data as weights isnt too extreme a correction, leading to too rosy a picture of GOP prospects this fall.
I agree. It's a little suspicious when Rasmussen part-ID weighting when applied to these other polls gives Rasmussen a significantly larger advantage than Rasmussen's own poll, which recently has had had Romney down a point or two.
It would seem that these "unskewed" polls are doing a bit of over-correction.

The above should read:
“gives Romney a significantly larger advantage than Rasmussen’s own poll, “
