Is there really no Spanish option? How can you poll NV and AZ without a Spanish interviewer or questionnaire

Don't be silly: If you are smart enough to register for the YouGov online panel in ENGLISH, you are also smart enough to fill out a simple question that asks "Are you voting Clinton or Trump ?"

No Spanish needed.

Roll Eyes

But Hispanics who would respond to a poll in English are different from those who would respond to a poll in Spanish.  The two groups wouldn't necessarily vote for Clinton and Trump by the same margins.  By not having a Spanish language option, the poll misses voters who would only respond if there was such an option.


...who are much more Democratic.

Also, Tender, putting aside that people are obviously more likely to hang up on a poll that's in an unfamiliar language, you do realize there are usually likely voter screening questions before the top line?

You also don't particularly seem to understand YouGov's sampling methodology.
