Yes, it appears to be good news for Obama, but there’s one issue with this poll, which was taken September 19 – 22. If you scroll way down to the section about party affiliation, this is what you’ll find:
Party affiliation:
Democrat: 38%
Republican 28%
Independent: 29%
If they push independents to say which party they lean more toward, we get this:
Democrats: 54
Republicans: 38
This poll is weighted from +10 to +16 in favor of the Democrats. That, folks, is what’s called stacking the deck.
