The Los Angeles Times has a very strong conservative bias. For years it was owned by some rich right-winger. I don't know why everyone considers it a liberal paper.

If a poll interviews 10% more Democrats than Republicans, then it's probably undercounting Democrats, not Republicans. Among the general public, Republicans are clearly in the minority.

Also, polls generally overcount Republicans, because Republicans are more likely to have more than one phone line.

I think the phrase "election fraud" would explain that.

I did a House breakout about a week ago, and when I put on my GOP rose colored glassed (The ones where it looks like Bush has a chance in Vermont) - I found 21 potentially vulnerable Democratic seats.

Bush has NO chance in Vermont. None.

The two are NOT mutually exclusive.  You do not throw out peopel if you are close to a reasonable split in party ID, say a 5% Dem advantage.  Might be a bit off, but not so far teh poll needs tweaking.

Nationwide, Democrats outnumber Republicans by probably about 1.5 to 1.
