YouGov - survey on FINA decision to ban transwomen from female category

I'm on the YouGov panel and get sent emails daily to complete surveys on various things. Today's is all about the FINA decision. If you're also on the panel, it's worth taking a look. The interesting thing is that you can see live results - these aren't the final figures as people are still answering but it's usually a fairly good indication. So far, around 85% in favour

Oh, just realised the Fina thing is only Daily Chat and not a proper poll at all so (as stated throughout) it isn’t representative of anything & won’t be reported as such.

If people can sign up to comment specifically on a particular issue that surely invalidates the results. I always thought that these polls were answered by a pre selected group who representative in age/ sex/race/ etc of the population at large.

@Willhewonthe67 they already have demographic information for all the people registered with them, so results can be filtered on that basis in final reports.

There is a difference between the 3 daily questions (Eurovision etc today) and the actual surveys, which are both emailed and flagged on the app (top box in image).

I rarely get the interesting surveys any more, usually tedious ones about which TV programmes I watch (none 🤣). It takes me many months to accumulate 5000 points.

Mine too. I wonder if we’re on a feminism block list 🤣

Show quote history

Me too!

And how much I liked the Tory party (which was quite satisfying to answer).

I can't sign up. It says I have to try again with a valid email address. Even though I'm using my email address which is very much valid.

I was invited to complete this one. How heartening to see the support and agreement for FINA's decision. Also particularly enjoyable to read the TRAs comments and see how many dislikes they are getting 😁

Babdoc · 20/06/2022 23:05

I’ve already filled it in. Heartening to see the majority of responses are gc.

Referral link

Hey, sign up to the YouGov panel using my referral link: account.yougov.com/gb-en/join?referral=WQEUnv-CVw-9IGfipwYGMg. YouGov is the place to earn points for answering interesting surveys. You can then redeem your points for rewards!

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 20/06/2022 21:48

I didn't even get a survey today. They are representative so try to get a balanced sample I think.

mum2jakie · 20/06/2022 21:32

I'm a member but don't have any polls or surveys about FINA?

I can't remember how I signed up but I think anyone can. I've just tried logging out, then going to www.yougov.chat/ and a sign- up popup appeared - try that.

I just signed into that and was asked about the FINA decision.

tobee · 20/06/2022 21:25

I get weekly surveys from YouGov but didn't know about this. Found it therapeutic!

Feckedupbundle · 20/06/2022 21:16

I got that survey earlier,and just completed it.

Cuck00soup · 20/06/2022 21:15

Same surveys about the rail strike and the Eurovision as everyone else. I may have complained about biased/gender twaddle surveys previously.

MagpiePi · 20/06/2022 21:01

If you go on Yougov.chat you can sign up and take the poll and make comments too. Not sre why they included a question on conversion therapy.

Seems to be the majority supports the FINA decision.

I get asked before all polls if I want to keep or delete cookies and I always click delete

NellWilsonsWhiteHair · 20/06/2022 20:55

Mine today was about the weather

MagpiePi · 20/06/2022 20:52

I get YouGov surveys but not very often. I've logged into my account and clicked on the Chat tab, and there is an option to chat about theFINA decision, but you have to allow all cookies. Maybe that's why I don't get the surveys through very often.

2Rebecca · 20/06/2022 20:48

I do the near daily you gov polls. I followed a link a fellow feminist sent me. The swimming poll today was encouraging as you gov respondents tend to be left of centre but do feel women's sport shouldn't be sacrificed so a small minority can feel included

FredGarland · 20/06/2022 20:00

I barely get any these days, and they're always about gambling (I hardly ever), technology (meh) or aimed at my teenager.
I'd love one about something feminist based!

Leafstamp · 20/06/2022 20:00

Done, thanks.

BootsAndRoots · 20/06/2022 19:59

I think you can just sign up to YouGov (I got an invite years ago because I did a Co-Op survey).

But be warned it's mostly boring surveys, such as "Which of these 50 brands have you heard of", "Which of these 50 brands would you be proud to work for".

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 20/06/2022 19:26

Mine was only about the strikes and Eurovision - is there a different Yougov panel I should try to get on?

Yes, mine too.
