Yes.

YouGov applies "statistical normalization methods" to adjust for bias in their member population that answer their polls.

In other words, they tell their sponsors pretty much what they believe they want to hear, by weighting the responses.

Postings on YouGov tend to be extremist, with a lopsided majority of "right-wing conservative" opinions.

Survey results consistently favor liberal or left-wing propositions.

Yes - I signed up as a member of survey groups and get the surveys on a regular basis.

No - the published survey results almost never match my opinions.

Perhaps I am just out of step with the times....:)
