Rasmussen: Repub part ID at all-time high

Ras polls 500 everyday just on party ID and reports the monthly average. In October he got 39.1% Repub, 33.3% Dem, 27.5% other, a record for Repub advantage since he started doing this. Gallup for Oct through Oct 26 had it Repub +1 over Dems. I'm surprised Ras has Romney with only a one point lead.

Ras started this ID polling because he used to just assume a certain number of Repubs and had one of his patented super-epic failures overestimating Repub votes. Now he adjusts monthly.

But Ras gets way more Repubs than just about anybody else.

49% in his final poll so when the Prez wins 51-49, Ras can say he got half of it right and that the late-breakers went to Obama because of Sandy.

When was the last time in 12 years R has been plus 6?

When was the last time there was a plus 6 R voter ID in an election, for that matter?
