Default Why the Ledge poll is far from US surveys?

So I see most of US ledgies are democrats, or just vote for Kerry. However I read surveys still give almost equal chances for both candidates. Why the Ledge is different? Are most ledgies democrats? Are most ledgies from a democrat state?

I'm a Republican. I stay on this ticket because my family is very political in my home county, and since they are all Republican, I remain that way as well so I can vote for them in the primaries.

I was going to leave my ticket blank for President, but decided to vote for Kerry this morning. Voting for Bush was never an option.

Most ledge R's do not care for our political discussions. Granted, many D's are harsh, but the R's I think realize W cannot be supported at all. So, they chose not to participate.

who sometimes sees things from a different view than both R's & D's...

I don't think the D's come off as harsh as they are just being brutally honest, So I intend to agree with 'em more often than not.

I am a Democrat, have been all my life. I cannot deal with the hateful Republican Party and their "Me, me, me" mentality and religious pontificating. I live in what is traditionally a "red" (Republican) state. I don't think it's going red this year.

Don't listen to any of the polls. Zobgy polls 39% Republican and 30% Democrat.

I've been a Dem all my life, always will be. I don't just think about myself like most Republicans, I think about the greater good. That includes equal marriage rights, quality education, protecting the environment, and equal health care. I don't believe in bombing Iraqi schools to get at their oil and I don't equate homsexual relationships with beastiality. I don't think religion should have in a voice in policy decisions.

mean diddle squat nowadays (With the extremely heavy voter turnout in Oklahoma it could make thing interesting tonite) so I agree with ya...

Example: St.Louis Cardinals had the best record in MLB this season and were predicted to do well in the World Series against the Boston Red Sox, Well we know what happened with that prediction didnt we? I know because I predicted the Cards winning in 6 games...Oh well, My predictions usually suck hot ass air!!!
