Leah Escaranam认为YouGov民调的问题设计存在缺陷,使用了过于强烈和带有偏见的词语,例如'非法移民'和'孤立主义',这些词语会引发受访者的强烈党派反应,从而影响结果的客观性。她认为,如果只使用'我们的生活受到威胁'和'这是一个美好的世界'这样的简短语句,结果可能会更客观。 Elliot Morris认为该民调达到了其目的,即检验研究人员对党派分歧的理解是否与选民的实际认知相符。他认为,如果民调的目的是为了观察这些词语是否会引发预期的党派反应,那么它就是一个成功的民调。但他同时指出,不应过度解读该民调的结果,将其视为对美国民众世界观的全面反映。 Nathaniel Rakich认为该民调很有趣,因为它揭示了美国民众在世界观方面存在深刻的党派分歧,即'世界主义'与'孤立主义'之间的分歧。他认为,虽然民调的措辞可以改进,但它抓住了美国政治中一个重要的、难以捉摸的分歧。 Galen Druk总结了讨论,指出讨论者就该民调的价值和局限性达成了共识,认为它是一种民调方法,但并非最佳方法。
