Actually the dems are being purposefully underrepresented in polls this year.
Gallup polling, which does polling for Time, USA Today and CNN, is oversampling Republicans to a disgusting degree. They are estimating that about 12% more republicans than Democrats are going to vote. This, despite the widespread dislike of Bush among Democrats and the fact that Democrats in the past few election cycles have been voting at a higher rate than Republicans.
That's why the recent poll by Gallup, as reported by CNN shows Bush winning 52 to 46. Completely flying in the face of virtually every other poll out there showing Kerry leading.
