They polled 600 per state. It's not proportional.

Well, as noted if you poll 600 folks in Wyoming, and 600 folks in CA, and then say Romney is ahead in the two states combined,  what you have is GIGO.  It has to weighted to match the population weights, which means Wyoming's percentages would be 1/54 of the weighted average, and CA 53/54 of it.
