Just saying!YouGov weights GB political surveys by (1) age interlocked with gender and education, (2)
political attention (3) social grade (4) 2017 recalled vote interlocked with region and (5) EU
referendum recalled vote. Weighting targets are YouGov estimates, data sources used in the
calculation of targets are cited below. General election voting intention figures are additionally
weighted by likelihood to vote. The poll was carried out online.
YouGov Weighting Data
All polls are subject to a wide range of potential sources of error. On the basis of the historical
record of the polls at recent general elections, there is a 9 in 10 chance that the true value of a
party’s support lies within 4 points of the estimates provided by this poll, and a 2 in 3 chance that
they lie within 2 points.
