I just received a release from the Times Mirror survey indicating that
Republicans as a percentage of likely voters in 1994 far surpassed
Republicans as a percentage of registered voters.  In fact, this survey
found that 55% of the likely voters were Republican (compared with 40%
Democratic).  On the other hand, the revised exit poll results from the New
York Times (as of 3/1/95), show a Democratic advantage among those turning
out (39%-34%).  Although I realize that the Times Mirror is apportioning
independents, and that likely voters are not the same as actual voters,
these two results still seem quite incongruous.  I don't recall seeing any
other surveys showing the same results as Times-Mirror.

Any ideas on this?
