Polling Nonsense

Electoral Predictions: The Obama-Romney Map is Turning Blue : The New Yorker
...Karl Rove and other Republican strategists are suggesting that some polling organizations are overestimating the number of Democratic voters, but that argument is largely a red herring. In many swing states, successive polls carried out by the same pollsters, using the same sampling procedure, have showed Obama gaining ground. Even polling organizations that tend to lean Republican have found the same trend...

More Democrats are sampled because there are more Democrats than Republicans. Duh.
