I say Bull--to the Q-Poll that has Mittens up by 6 in Florida--look at the Demos [View all]

Quinnipiac Poll has Mittens taking a six-point lead over Obama in Florida 47-41, but I guess you could manufacture a lead such as that with these kind of demos:

640 Republicans Interviewed
507 Independents Interviewed
493 Democrats Interviewed

So, 39% of the survey are Republicans, 31% are Indies & ONLY 30% are Democrats. 70% are GOP and Indies.

scroll down to bottom and select 'demographic Summary'

According to Florida Voter Registration Records there are 40% Democrats, 36% Republicans and 24% Indies in Florida, thru April of this year. Yet Quinnipiac has fewer Dems interviewed than either GOP or Indies!
