About

I'll Wait For Survation refers to a series of humorous tweets that have usually appeared on Twitter in response to results of opinion polls for British general elections from British polling organization YouGov, who have been criticised due to their bias towards the Conservative Party in their polls.

Due to this, Twitter users have commented that they would rather wait on other pollsters, mainly Survation, another polling company, to release polls as they would tend to be less bias than YouGov.

Origin

Ahead of the United Kingdom general election in 2019, pollsters such as YouGov, Survation, Kantar, Opinium and others conducted polls which determine what public support could look like in the election.

The phrase "I'll Wait For…" originated in responses to polls conducted by YouGov, known to have links with the Conservative Party and therefore have had polls that put the party in the lead, due to this, some on Twitter accused YouGov for not being accurate with their findings as other pollsters have different and similar numbers to one another excluding YouGov.

The phrase, "I'll Wait For…" comes from Twitter users who say they would rather wait on other pollsters besides YouGov as they expect others to be more accurate.

Spread

In mostly every poll YouGov releases that puts the Conservative Party in a substantial lead, Twitter users comment that they would rather wait for Survation as they have the tendency to be more accurate in their findings compared to YouGov.
