cBS CraPOLLa

The 2004 election broke down approximately 37% Dems 37% Reps yet this poll overweights Dems by a ridiculous 9%. An example of agenda driven polling if there ever was one.


UNWEIGHTED

Total Respondents 1018
Total Republicans 272 27%
Total Democrats 409 40%
Total Independents 337 33%

WEIGHTED

Total Respondents 1018
Total Republicans 289 28%
Total Democrats 381 37%
Total Independents 348 34%

That is why I quote Rassmussen exclusively. He is accurate and has exhibited no tendency to manipulate his samples to achieve a desired result.
