This is my question: What, exactly, was SO bad about the Before, that makes this preferable to it? Was it literally just the fact that a Black man was elected president?? I mean, for literally ANYONE except the .01% making billions, how was this the better option???

It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.

![Allegation of poll manipulation
In June 2022, former employee and then future MP Chris Curtis, who at that time worked for competitor Opinium,[39] said that during the 2017 United Kingdom general election, a YouGov poll was suppressed by the company because it was "too positive about Labour", under pressure from the Conservative co-founder of YouGov Nadhim Zahawi. YouGov denied that the poll was spiked for political reasons, instead arguing that the poll was based on a "skewed sample".[39] Former YouGov president Peter Kellner confirmed last-minute small methodology changes which transferred 2% from Labour to Conservative and increased the predicted Conservative lead from 3% to 7%.[40]
A day later, Curtis withdrew his allegation, saying that he now accepted "YouGov's position that in fact the results were pulled because of concerns other members of the team had about the methodology",[39] and that he had not intended to allege that Nadhim Zahawi had any bearing on the decision, and apologised for any confusion caused by his previous statements.[41]
Reliability of survey suggesting Christianity revival among GenZ
Others have questioned the reliability of YouGov data used in the 2025 Bible Society report ''The Quiet Revival'', which suggested a sharp rise in church attendance among Generation Z. They noted that YouGov surveys are online opt-in polls, meaning participants volunteer rather than being randomly selected, which can skew the sample. Respondents are often given rewards or points for completing surveys, potentially encouraging careless, exaggerated, or dishonest answers, including misrepresenting age or behavior. The reported increases conflict with other sources such as the British Social Attitudes Survey and even official church statistics.[](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j53ywwakk42vklflyauvty73/bafkreifxkul7pca5kwfy4xhx2nymxqnpd55oryxpadjmcnbvmi7kn24mey)
