29. These aren't composite numbers though, they're polls of Republicans

There's no comparison or balance here, this is what only Republicans answered. Maybe Rs who mailed in have somewhat more temperate views and the numbers will soften a bit if they're ever taken into account, but this isn't "versus" data so the massive R/D imbalance at the in-person polls simply isn't a factor.

Think of it as a poll of "Republicans who voted in-person".
