Trump leads GOP nationally ahead of third debate
https://today.yougov.com ^ | October 28, 2015

Most Republican voters want someone from outside of the political establishment to win their party's nomination for the presidential election

Republicans haven’t lost their appetite for presidential debates: two in three Republicans claim they will be watching on Wednesday night, about the same percentage that said they would watch the first two GOP debates. Half of Republicans in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll say they are very interested in the debate, and one in four believe debate performances will be very important in deciding how they will vote in their party’s nominating competitions.

What will Republicans be looking for in the debates? Two in three Republicans believe it’s more important to find a candidate who agrees with them on the issues than to have a nominee who can win a general election. Democrats are also looking for the same thing – issue similarity is more important to them than electability.

Here is my latest average of the four latest major GOP National Polls. Despite what the MSM tries to emphasize with a single poll, this average tells the tale.

...and here's the trend line of the averages of each weeks major polls (and they differ from week to week in terms of who takes them) since the first of septmeber.

Speaks for itself:

We?

You're late to the party. Several Freepers have been doing that since right after that debate.

Another YouGov poll:

Sexual orientation in the UK: Half of young people say they are not 100% heterosexual (WTH)

YouGov says the same about Americans.

YouGov: Plurality of Americans think Senate GOP’s letter to Iran was inappropriate
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3267735/posts

And according to the U.K.'s YouGov,

YouGov poll: 56% support jailing Kim Davis, Republicans evenly split at 42 percent

So, it's obvious that YouGov has a stake in the outcomes of some polls (known by intelligent human beings as being only surveys rather than election voting booths).
