Interesting to see that 47% are Republicans while 42% are Democrats. The survey has them split almost 50/50. I’ve heard that Democrats are in the majority but they are concentrated in fewer states. This is what is given as the reason Republicans can control governments.
How can that be????

Your data is what I remembered. That throws this survey to be questionable.
