Thanks for that. I found it with CLRT+ F but I had to used "Party ID" instead. There it brought me to "Weighted N" on question 3.
Total Weighted N is 936 for the question of "who will you vote for?" which oddly enough, is at
101%. I have no idea why polls pull this when it makes me question if they understand elementary math. Also Republicans are at 99% percent with 282 Weighted N. I'm going to multiply by 1.01% and give them a 284. Call it flubbing the number but I don't care as it's not like it helps my narrative anyway.
So the weighted N are,
Democrats: 389
Independents: 253
Republicans: 284
Add the numbers up and you get 926. Now let's divide the weighted total
Democrats: 389 / 926 = 42.01%
Independent: 253 / 926 = 27.32%
Republican: 284 / 926 = 30.67%
That brings it up to 11.34+ Democrats. compared to Republicans and 14.69+ compared to Independents. This is incredibly unrealistic. What shell shocking events could have caused Republicans and Independents between 2016 and now to decide to throw their backs behind the Democratic Party when more people are declaring themselves Republicans and Independents compared to
2012 to
2016? Trump is hardly a Bush and even the COVID backlash would have not caused such a sharp increase. It's also worth noting that if we take this poll at face value, while Democrats are solidifying behind Biden, the Republicans are doing the same with Trump and that Biden is behind in double digits with independent voters. Granted, you have to consider the margin of error, but that still means Trump is doing better with Independents than he did in 2016.
The only way this poll is good news for Biden is if the past four years have seen a mass exodus to the Democrats, which I don't buy. If on the other hand the party affiliation compared to 2016 remained on standstill for Republicans or Independents or even grown, then he has an uphill battle to fight.
