It's interesting how they force you to do your own calculations on their numbers, too. https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/m1ogjkmupj/YouGov_SupremeCourt_SnapPoll_Crosstabs%20(1).pdf

OP lists the poll's party affiliation correctly as 47% D, 20% I, and 28% R. But we know these are not accurate, based on the running Gallup Poll of party affiliation. Their most recent numbers indicate: 31% D, 41% I, and 26% R. See: https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx

So, YouGov knowingly cut 2% off the Rs, boosted Ds by an amazing 16%, and cut a whopping 21% off the Independents, which just so happens to be the group Trump won over in 2016. This is how you "fix" a poll, and they're back at their same old tired tricks.

These people are stupid.
