    The 42% are democrats and 47% are republicans is the true surprise. That is a huge difference even though it might not seem like it.

      Well, I have been a registered Republican as long as I have been voting.

      And have been voting straight Democrat for over a decade now.

      I wonder if there are more like me?

      Also interesting, the estimated percentage of Democrats is bigger than the estimated percentage of Republicans while the true percentage is the other way around.

      I wonder how much that has to do with state rules on voting in primaries. Like, when I lived in MA I was registered independent because that would let me vote in any primary (but only one). My current state, I have to be affiliated with a specific party to vote.
