Adults, not voters?

Perhaps most alarming for Republicans is that for the Gallup interviews conducted during the last quarter of 2006, the Democratic advantage was a whopping 14.2 points: 52.3 percent for Democrats and 38.1 percent for Republicans.

In my mind, I can already see many Republicans and conservatives, particularly in the blogging set, rushing to their computer keyboards to point out that the Gallup numbers were among adults and not voters.

But I seriously doubt that any credible pollster or psephologist (a student of elections and polling) would argue that the differential between adults and voters, particularly presidential election year voters, would amount to more than 10 points.

Remember that. There is only about a 4% difference and over 30% republicans according to a media poll, yet when they do polls on subjects such as Bush's approval rating, they regularly use differences of 10% or more between republicans and democrats.

So what, they weight the results to match the actual percentages represented in the public. Republicans are not underrepresented.

I think it is such a joke the effort Republicans try to make polling science seem like vodoo magic when the US uses it to verify the legitimacy of the rest of the world's elections.

Like the article says the most revealing thing is that the Republican party is bombing big time with independents.Very bad omen.
