Curious why they didn't poll Florida in the last week or so... nt docgee Nov 2012 #1

Maybe they did but did not like the results. TexasCPA Nov 2012 #2

What I'm hoping... docgee Nov 2012 #3

Ras is going to lose his relatively high rating with this. DCBob Nov 2012 #4

His samples are about 44% Republicans

A CNN poll showed about 35% Republicans

I don't know if the Republican percentage was an after thought or if polling was done specifically based on party demographics.

Either way, it looks Ras may be oversampling Republicans
