The secretary of state's office Friday reports that from May 1 through May 22 when primary registration closed, Democrats registered 4,322 active voters, compared with 2,254 registered by Republicans. The number of active registered nonpartisans increased by 2,544 during the same time period. Statewide, Democrats now hold a 38,792 voter advantage over Republicans. But the gap is far less than the 100,000 voter edge Democrats had going into the 2008 general election. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/state/gop-closes-in-on-democrats-in-florida-voter-2107649.html Jan. 17, 2012 Figures released by the Division of Elections today show Florida has 11.2 million voters, with 40.5 percent registered as Democrats and about 36.2 percent as Republicans. The gap of 4.3 percentage points between Democratic and Republican registrations compares to a 5.8-point gap that favored Democrats heading into the 2008 presidential election. http://www.pagop.org/2012/01/as-parties-lose-voters-republicans-chip-away-at-democrats-advantage/ Pennsylvania-January 20th, 2012 In November 2006, Democrats held a roughly 600,000-voter edge with 3.9 million registered voters to the Republicansâ 3.3 million. The number now stands at 4.1 million Democrats to 3 million Republicans. The 2012 election will come down to turnout, he said. With a margin that still tops 1.1 million, Democrats have a huge advantage if they can motivate those voters to show up at the polls. But by narrowing that advantage, Republicans put more pressure on the turnout effort, he said.
its annoying you posted this again... when I already explained it to you. these polls show a very larger independent group... which your polls do not reflect. your polls keep the 7-11 point skew between Repubs and Dems but significantly under sample independents. And we know when this massive block of independents is asked which way they lean... the lean very strongly republican.
And I will bet they used a more accurate sample with this poll. Unless you think the country is really swinging in Romney' direction rather than already being there.

2008 was the highwater mark for registered democrats. You had all the acorn like regsitrations of mickey mouse and dead people. And you pulled in some real people who were caught up in Obama mania. You also were fresh off the Neo Cons destroying the republican party. Registrations are old news. The tax roles need updating. When states like florida purge the rolls of old registrants - perhaps dead voters... Democrats get all agitated. Voter Rolls are far less accurate than the recent polls.
