This poll seriously overestimates the youth vote and underestimates the elderly vote. There's no way that 18-29 will be 26% of the electorate while the 65+ group is 14%.

EDIT: Looking back, YouGov has always had screwy age numbers, which is weird becuase they say they weight for age in their polls.
