Yeah, they conveniently leave out the statistics about how many
respondents were registered Democrats vs. registered Republicans. But
the AP-Ipsos poll *did* provide that data: 52% registered Dems and 39%
registered Republicans. I'd suspect that this poll is just as badly
skewed.


You misstate the data.

----
Question #1:

Do your beliefs tend to lean more toward the Democrats or the Republicans?
----

Which does not necessarily equate to party affiliation.

" Half the respondents were asked party identification in this location, the
other half were asked at the end of the survey with the

other demographic questions. Results for the respondents who were asked the
question early were 40% Republican, 50%

Democrat. For the respondents asked later in the survey, the results were
39% Republican, 52% Democrat."





(In your opinion, party identification doesn't mean the same thing as party
affiliation? )




(hint: independents)

Yes, independents...which is explained by the fact that 52%+39% doesn't
equal 100%.
