Mathematics doesn't care about your feelings or desires.
Statistics is a branch of mathematics. Concepts such as sampling, confidence level, margin of error, and post-stratification have meaning. Specifically, correlation of self-identified party with actual votes is an essential element to knowing whether weighting is appropriate, and that correlation has largely proven to be unknown and unknowable in a numeric sense.
I suggest you may want to learn at least the basics of statistics before continuing to spew nonsense about "oversampling" and "correctly weighting". Clearly you're struggling with even the simplest concepts. I'm sorry for your mathematical deficiency. It must be a sad way to live, caring so much about polls and not understanding how they work.

Lo and behold, there are more voters registered as Democrats than as Republicans.
But some would have us believe that pollsters should just ignore this inconvenient truth because it doesn’t reinforce their own personal ideal worldview.
