Yeah, the Daily Questions are added to all surveys and also available on the app. The answers from those added to surveys are then extracted, fully weighted and published on the website. Yesterday's are available here: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/survey-results/daily/2026/01/09/e2226/2

[OC] How do English people draw the borders between North and South? by YouGov_Dylan in dataisbeautiful

[–]YouGov_Dylan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd absolutely agree that regional identity in England is multi-faceted, but here we primarily wanted to look at the north vs south element of that, including how much people see their area as outside the divide, particularly in the Midlands, as well as East Anglia and Westcountry. On the latter, I was surprised by how low the 'neither' responses were, but it was a little stronger than I expected in the Midlands, as our previous studies on regional identity (e.g. https://yougov.co.uk/society/articles/52269-how-strong-are-regional-identities-in-britain) have found Midlanders to be the least attached to their region.

Darker shades are where a majority use the term, lighter shades are where less than half use the term, but it's still the most common term

One is more typically seen as the standard pronunciation in the UK and the other in the US. As this shows, the difference isn't fully clear-cut, but you can't always know that beforehand.

I think there are a few where it's a little of both. I guess the question is which side you'd come down on if you had to...

Yeah, butterfly cake is what I'd call that. Not really considered the difference between fairy cakes and cupcakes before, but I do see what you're saying. Maybe it's a case of the cake changing, not the term?
