Notice most states missing like SC, AL, MS are mostly republican and not on there?
Are we not supposed to notice that?
The article clearly states that this only covers the 31 states that have party registration (and I thought there were only 28 by the way). Of course that does make the headline misleading at best. Gallup does a much better job where they poll in the non-party-reg states to get the total picture. A year ago they had it at 47% D, 42% R, 11% I in terms of voter registration or self-identification. The distribution of these people is very uneven with some highly polarized congressional districts with huge D majorities so that the D registration advantage is essentially "wasted" in actual elections.
