CNN exit polls from 2012: http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/race/president
Voting break down by party: Democrats: 38% Republicans: 32% Independents: 29% So, yes, a 6% advantage in D vs R voting. And then Registered Voters via Pew: http://www.people-press.org/2012/08/23/a-closer-look-at-the-parties-in-2012/ D: 35% R: 28% I: 33% If you push Independents to get which way they would lean in voting (D or R): D: 48% R: 43% So, a pretty consistent 5 to 7 percent margin no matter how you slice it. Hence why the (good) polls included more Democrat and Democrat-leaning responses in their sample in order to match demographics.
