Washington Post, "Swing state poll: Romney still struggling to convince voters he cares": Can It Possibly Get More Stupid?

According to a Washington Post article entitled "Swing state poll: Romney still struggling to convince voters he cares" (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/swing-state-poll-romney-still-struggling-to-convince-voters-he-cares/2012/08/01/gJQAjKoAPX_story.html?hpid=z2):

"A new poll by CBS News, the New York Times, and Quinnipiac University found that 54 percent of likely voters in Pennsylvania, 55 percent in Ohio, and 49 percent in Florida said Romney did not care about their problems.

. . . .

President Obama fared better: In all three states, at least 55 percent said the president did understand their needs and problems."

The article then tells us:

"The polls must be taken with this caveat: In all three states, significantly more Democrats than Republicans were surveyed, which could affect the results."

Oh, really? If a poll surveys significantly more Democrats than Republicans, this could affect the results? Who would have ever guessed?
