Heavily weighted towards democRATs to make them feel better.
That is not weighted at all, that is about what the split is in the general population is in this country. Other than they did not ask enough independents.

Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball » Registering By Party: Where the Democrats and Republicans Are Ahead
Altogether, there are 31 states (plus the District of Columbia) with party registration; in the others, such as Virginia, voters register without reference to party. Among the party registration states are some of the nation’s most populous: California, New York, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Arizona, and Massachusetts.
The basic facts: In 19 states and the District, there are more registered Democrats than Republicans. In 12 states, there are more registered Republicans than Democrats. In aggregate, 40% of all voters in party registration states are Democrats, 29% are Republicans, and 28% are independents. Nationally, the Democratic advantage in the party registration states approaches 12 million.
