Forty-nine percent of likely voters questioned say they support the president, with an equal amount saying they back the former Massachusetts governor.
Respondents who reported that they had already cast an absentee ballot or voted early were automatically classified as likely voters.
Among those likely voters, 41% described themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans
It is common knowledge that CNN leans left.
So I decided to go digging into their actual poll data. And I found that there are 11% more Democrats sampled than republicans!

Most pollsters, with the exception or Rasmussen and Gallup, project turnout similar to 2008. Rasmussen and Gallup are the only two major pollsters who make adjustments based on current party affiliation.
The 2012 turnout will not be similar to 2008.

The electorate is not D+11, Not even D+8, it's more like R + 3.

Rasmussen and Gallup poll land lines only and use robo-calling.
No surprise they get more Republicans with that method.
