Why don't the major polling companies ever oversample Republicans?

Has there been a national poll created by Gallup, etc that showed a significant R bias? I don't recall any.

You know why. The ones that oversample Dems are corrupt left-wingers. The few polls that aren't leftists try to sample accurately - like Ras.

And have their biases altered by their bigoted, racist numbers?
Pshhh

It's based on the affiliation percentages of the population at large

Because Republicans block those annoying 800 numbers.
I have no empirical evidence to support that claim, except that I have voted Republican in the past, and I do not answer 800 numbers and block them thereafter.

And democrats haven't figured out that "trick?"

Google makes it very hard just to find the actual US gov numbers of registered Pubs vs Dems in 2017. Most went to gallup or Pew sites geez.

Nope,I have seen national polls as low as 23$ Republicans
Noway it was that low at that time, may get there soon if the GOPe continues with its bullshite

Because accurate polling requires random sampling and significantly more Americans identify as Democrat than Republican

Apologies. I was being facetious.
I have never participated in a poll because I do not answer unknown 800 numbers. I am aware that anyone can do this.

yet democrats are at pre-civil war lows across the entire nation with the exception of large numbers of uneducated urban poors and wealthy elitists in progressive urban bubbles

What party an individual identifies as and which party they vote for are two very different things. Roughly 25-35% of the country identifies as independent, not Republican nor Democrat. Sometimes that number can break 40%. When it comes to voting that block of independents votes overwhelmingly Republican.
Hence you have way more Democrats than Republicans but Republicans winning more elections.

The Republicans are usually at work and don't have time to take part in dumb polls.

Fixed that for you.

There literally wasn't a single R+3 poll for the ENTIRE last election cycle.
The odds of this are astronomical because we saw over 100 D+9 (and higher) samples.
It's proof that the polls are rigged

They would have to make phone calls or knock on doors outside of population centers, which could expose them and their employees to reason. Ain't nobody got time for that.

So you don't believe that more people self-identify as democrats than republicans (especially during Presidential cycles?)
