YouGov is a joke.

Nevertheless, Toomey is ahead so let's celebrate good times.

I actually put YouGov and Harris Interactive in a different category than planet Zogby.

I don't think YouGov and Harris are ready for prime-time yet, they still have a lot of kinks and bugs, but they are legitimately trying, and I expect in 10 years or so polling will evolve to use the internet, just in the way it has already evolved to incorporate cell phones.

YouGov is about the most respected pollster here in the UK.

They poll (far) more often than anyone else.

YouGov's UK polling is usually pretty good, but their US polling is generally way off base.  It's only marginally better than Zogby.

I just completed a survey for YouGuv. Not too bad but I don't see why they were so interested in questions about mormonism, which they placed in the middle of the survey.

Probably because of Romney in 2012. Ugh.

If so, they certainly went to lengths to disguise it. They asked more questions about Glenn Beck and Harry Reid then about Romney.

I was excited, then I wasn't.  At least it's not Zogby just making stuff up.
