Gasp!..Skewed Polls:

Washington Post sample: 52% Democrats

by Ed Morrissey, July 16 2008

The good news from the Washington Post poll for Barack Obama is that eight-point lead among registered voters. The bad news comes from the sampling, which as usual skews to the Democrats. When asked to identify their party affiliation, the sample showed 37% Democrats to only 24% Republicans. When calculated for “net leaned”, the Democrats get 52% of the sample, compared to 38% for Republicans.

Obama should be blowing McCain out of the water at this point, and yet he’s struggling to maintain any significant lead even among the friendliest sampling. All McCain needs to do now is stay close — and he could do better than that by hammering Obama on energy. If McCain wants to attack Obama’s strength, that’s the chink in the armor he should target.
