Who else is signed up for YouGov?

A while ago, someone on WotB informed me that YouGov conducts official political polls, and suggested more people signed up since the results are reported in the news and used to see who qualifies for the debates.

Most of the time, the surveys I have gotten are about how I feel about certain brand names. I'd say 4 out of 5 surveys I take have nothing to do with politics and are just marketing surveys. Usually, they send out political surveys after a political debate or a big scandal to ask my thoughts about it.

Some things I have noticed since taking these surveys:

  1. Warren is obviously the first choice and has been for a while now. Political surveys keep framing questions about Warren positively, and asking what it would take to get me/others to vote for her. You don't even have to be signed up to take surveys to see this: YouGov's blogs always have a very biased view of WARren, and always promote her while downplaying Bernie and others.

  2. Biden is the second choice, although it seems clear that they know he's a risk, since they always ask things about his age and if his views are out dated.

  3. Pete Buttigeg appears to be the third and final choice, which I find odd. I never see anything about him, they just ask if I would ever vote him after asking me if I would vote for Warren or Biden.

  4. The surveys always ask if I would vote for Bernie, but not without bringing up his age and how he will pay for his proposed policies.

  5. These surveys always ask if the president should be a woman or someone young.

  6. The most critical thing: Whenever I see the breakdown of survey results, I notice that the 45-64 age group is always over representative than the 18-29 age group. For example, a typical breakdown would be 300 respondents that are 18-29, compared to 588 respondents that are 45-65. Obviously this tactic is nothing new when it comes to polling, but this is all the more reason Wayers from the 45-65+ age group need to sign up.

Anyone else have any thoughts or opinions to share about YouGov?
