You quoted the non-important part of that poll. Specifically the one that said more republicans were polled: "One-third of the respondents who participated in tonight's survey identified themselves as Republicans, with 31% identifying themselves as Democrats"
I find this stat from the same article you linked MUCH more interesting:
"A CBS News poll of uncommitted voters who watched the debate gave Biden the edge over Ryan by a 50%-31% margin. Uncommitted voters made up roughly ten percent or less of the debate audience."

What you refer to as the "important part" is what I refer to as "the excuse"
btw, have you seen the negative impact Biden had on female voters? They are running for their lives!

Does that mean it's also just an excuse when you say that democrats are over-represented in polls that ask whether people are more likely to vote for Romney or Obama?

What the hell are you talking about? 33% vs 31%, 48% vs 44%. You don't see any correlation between very close numbers?
Also, why did you conveniently skip over the most important part of my post that I clearly called attention to? The one that said undecideds were 50%-31% for Biden. Guess it's silly of me to think it's more important at this stage of the election to focus on the voters who didn't make up their minds months ago.
But then again, that metric doesn't fit the point you were trying to prove.

Eddie Munster is a numbers kind of guy and he failed to produce
them to make his point, with the exception of "The Five Things"
a Republican White House intends to do to make it fix things...
whatever that means. It's a secret plan that has yet to be revealed.
BUT... the centrifuges in Iran are "spinning faster now."
In the first debate Romney claimed he would create 9,000,000 new jobs
and tonight Ryan upped the ante to 12,000,000.
Statements on abortion/contraception and Supreme Court/Roe v Wade.
Give the Government control over your choices or lack of them,
even though it should not be a religious based decision?
Not all Americans share the GOPs beliefs.
IF I vote for Romney will he foot the bill for their college education?
Mitt spent $45 million of his own money in his failed Presidential bid
against Bush. Since he has much more in his offshore accounts than
Obama, Biden and Ryan combined I expect him to be generous with
his donations to charities.

I just don't understand this kind of thing. Why would you focus on one group's lies and not the other group's lies? For example, Joe Biden indicated that he did not vote for either war, when he did. The vice president also indicated the $5 trillion tax cut in the Romney plan, which is completely misleading.
I thought Biden won the debate because he was way more assertive and in control. Biden had better one-liners. Ryan is too much of a figures guy. I also didn't like Ryan's cadence for some reason. He sounded like he was a 10 year old. The moderating was great.
