Polls- where are they getting their info?

[pelvicpromise]

Stupid question? Why has no one ever asked my intention for a poll?!

I was wondering this the other day.

If you join web survey sites such as YouGov etc you get surveys and after time get paid for them

I am signed up to YouGov and have completed several voting polls online in recent weeks. I'm in a marginal constituency. Get paid the princely sum of 25p or 50p a time.

I do YouGov surveys and I've been asked about voting intentions several times during this election campaign. They asked who I plan to vote for, whether I'll definitely vote, who I last voted for, and the first bit of my postcode.

I also joined YouGov. They don't send each survey out to every member though, so I'm not sure how they choose their sample. I have had a lot of election-based ones recently, although I'm not in a marginal. You also seem to have to fill out a lot of boring surveys about your TV-viewing habits!

Ah yes - the boring tv ones. And I seem to get loads about coffee.

Still, I dint complain when the £50 arrives in my account a couple of times a year. It seems like money for nothing.

I do YouGov also
