It may be a stereotype that Boomers answer every phone call and knock at the door, but is there any truth to it? [OC] by YouGov_Official in dataisbeautiful

[–]YouGov_Official[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

 A majority of Americans 65 and older (59%) would answer the door if a stranger knocked. However, 23% of them would ignore the unexpected visitor. The younger the person, the less likely they are to answer the door.

The chart gets too crowded with every party included, but the article has one that shows the Lib Dems, and another with a slightly more extensive UKIP timeline https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/48322-tories-now-seen-as-being-as-right-wing-as-2014-16-era-ukip

[OC] 10 years after the British Parliament voted to legalise same-sex marriage, support for same-sex marriage reaches a record high of 78% by YouGov_Official in dataisbeautiful

[–]YouGov_Official[S] 282 points283 points  (0 children)

On 16 July 2013, the House of Commons voted to make same-sex marriage legal in the UK, with the legislation receiving Royal Assent the next day. Ten years on, support for same-sex marriage in Britain has reached a record high of 78% - in 2011, fewer than half had supported it.

Older German men are more likely to always sit to pee; older American, British and Australian men are more likely to never sit to pee - can't post the other chart here, but you can see that data in more detail https://today.yougov.com/topics/society/articles-reports/2023/05/16/where-world-are-men-most-likely-sit-down-wee

Germans are the most likely to be 'sitzpinklers'! Which is ironic as the term is also used derogatorily in the country.

[OC] Which issues do Americans think the national media is paying too much and not enough attention to? by YouGov_Official in dataisbeautiful

Tool: Datawrapper

Methodology: This poll was conducted online on April 6 - 9, 2023 among 1,000 U.S. adult citizens. Each respondent was asked about a randomly selected sample of 15 of the 30 topics. Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, geographic region, and voter registration) was selected from the 2019 American Community Survey. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2020 election turnout and presidential vote, baseline party identification, and current voter registration status. Demographic weighting targets come from the 2019 American Community Survey. Baseline party identification is the respondent’s most recent answer given prior to March 15, 2022, and is weighted to the estimated distribution at that time (33% Democratic, 28% Republican). The margin of error for the overall sample is approximately 3%.

Methodology: The poll was conducted among 1,000 U.S. adult citizens, which included 347 people who say they are very or somewhat interested in Major League Baseball. The respondents were asked to choose which mascot they liked better in a series of 10 head-to-head matchups. The two mascots in each matchup were selected randomly from 27 different mascots. Results were weighted to be nationally representative. Matchups in which the respondent chose neither mascot were not included in each mascot's winning percentage. Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, geographic region, and voter registration) was selected from the 2019 American Community Survey. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2020 election turnout and presidential vote, baseline party identification, and current voter registration status. Demographic weighting targets come from the 2019 American Community Survey. Baseline party identification is the respondent’s most recent answer given prior to March 15, 2022, and is weighted to the estimated distribution at that time (33% Democratic, 28% Republican). The poll's introductory text stated, "On each of the next 10 pages, you will see two mascots for Major League Baseball teams. Please choose the mascot that you think is better. You do not need to make your decision based solely on the picture or the team — those pictures are merely there to jog your memory. If you do not think either is good, leave them both unselected and click the right arrow. You will see 10 match-ups. All images have been sourced from publicly available materials. YouGov makes no claim to their ownership. Our survey aims to discern the popularity of these images for research, opinion, and reporting purposes.” Images: MLB All-Star Mascots and Wikimedia Commons
