.
They measured 'Total Adults' and 'Registered Voters' but not 'Likely Voters.'

Democrat 33%

Republican 24%

Independent 36%

Other 4%

=====================

Registered voters

Democrat 36%

Republican 27

Independent 33

7/10/12, "WaPo/ABC Skew Poll, Obama Still Struggling," Breitbart, Mike Flynn

"The latest WaPo/ABC poll basically spots Obama a couple goals before the results are even tabulated. Even with this "thumb on the scale", though, Obama's reelection looks very shaky.

Overall, the poll shows Obama and Romney tied at 47% nationally among registered voters. Worse for Obama, 54% of voters in this sample--which undercounts Republicans--disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy. This sample gives Romney a 5-point lead on better "handling the economy"

  • and a 10-point lead on better "handling the deficit."

One can only imagine the results if this poll were screened only for "likely" voters and the partisan breakdown was something approaching reality. No wonder the media are now obsessing that Romney's campaign needs a "staff shake-up." His current staff is winning."...

==========================

Another skewed poll to favor Obama, July 5, 2012 Quinnipiac Poll in Ohio:

BBC says Quinnipiac Poll shows Obama ahead in Ohio but doesn't say the poll used more democrats than republicans (34%-26%) and more women (685) than men (552), June 19-25, 2012. You have to go to a different page to find this, you aren't alerted to do so, you have to know ahead of time to look for this information.

7/5/12, "Romney and Republicans raise $100m in June," BBC

"A Quinnipiac University poll of Ohio voters last week had Mr Obama leading his rival by 47% to 38% in the state."...

Poll dates: June 19 to June 25, 2012
