Sorry Yahoo, the tide already turned. The people voted. Accept it. Move on.

Liberals keep having referenda until they get the result they want. Then they stop. Besides, this poll is probably as much BS as the pre-Brexit polls that showed a majority favoring staying in the EU.

Majority-—50% plus 1
Plurality-—more than on the other side

One shouldn’t expect that Yahoo News UK has command of the English language, I guess.

Geez, and I thought Yahoo News had finally died.

I see they are still pushing their propaganda. It will probably get worse as they continue to decline.

National and International organizations are much like HOAs (Home Owners’ Associations). You believe they have your best interests at heart, but the people ‘elected’ to office are control freaks and spend other people’s money on their own pet projects.

They make up rules they deem appropriate and to hell with the investment of homeowners (citizens).

i.e. HOAs have ‘child’, ‘pet’, ‘landscape/plants’, ‘recycling’, rules and even though you believe your home is your private property, IT IS NOT!!!!!!!

I would rate Yahoo-News as almost worthless. I might click once per year to one of their stories. I tried six months ago to find some method where you could disable Yahoo news or just have sport pop up instead....but they won’t allow you to do it.

YouGov is an international Internet-based market research firm, headquartered in the UK, with operations in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.[2] It has no known connection with the UK government despite the name. Stephan Shakespeare, the firm’s CEO as of 2017, once stood as a Conservative candidate for Colchester; he was also a Conservative Party pollster.

Would this be the same polls that insisted Brexit would never pass in the first place?

But isn’t YouGov an on-line poll, where people can go & ‘vote’ if they feel like it? Not particularly scientific...

In my estimation, Yahoo is 50% “fake News” and 50% “Sponsored Content”.

People who get their news form Yahoo are misinformed. Sadly, when I last visited Tokyo most of my friends had Yahoo as their home page.

Media outlets pat selves on their back for not even getting the same percentage of no votes in poll. How about a resample including the answer ‘can you stop asking the same question over and over again?’
