Uh huh, the country is over 50% Democrats.  And no, they predicted at the end that there was a 90% likelihood that Hillary would win.  Also said Trump would only get 42% of the popular vote.  Wrong on both counts.  And this came from a Rueters article doing a post-mortem on the faulty polling in 2016. 

As for their weighting, in prior recent polling they talked to fewer Democrats than Republicans and Independents combined and the results were unchanged.  Yet somehow magically in this new poll they talk to far more Democrats and the support for impeachment goes up while all the other polls show the opposite or unchanged.  And according to a slew of polls the difference in party affiliation is anwyhere from about equal to a slight majority for Democrats, certainly not the percentages they used.  Gallup had it at 30% GOP, 38% Independent and 31% Democrat as of two weeks ago.  Sorry Goofy, but their claims about weighting in the final results strains credibility.

Like I said, do not trust this poll.  And my criticism is because it is at odds with all the other polls, not because I don't like it.  But nice try with the cut and paste.
