I run a market research company (based in Europe though) and polls like this one have been hard to comprehend for me since at least 2016. What's the point of skewing the results by oversampling democrats and showing it to everyone in crosstabs?
If this is unintentional than it's very sloppy and amateurish work, should not happen in an established multinational company like YouGov.
And if it's intentional, it's outright stupid - they cheat and tell everyone they're doing it. Also, there are many "invisible" ways to distort poll results, why don't they use them? They could e.g. ex-post remove "undesired" respondents and call it a "quality control" or re-weight data to achieve the outcome they want to show. Heck, even typing in fake numbers would be better than oversampling and showing it to the world.
If it’s not intentional, it’s because they live in this fantasy land where they think that everyone is a leftist SJW and the rest are just the radical fringe

This is the American Left™: Your reality is not what you see, it's how they make you see it. The biggest business of all is perception.
Polls are Leftist memes, and we all know they can’t meme. There’s NO support for Biden outside of Deep State/Pedowood circles.
