          How are they lies? Honestly asking. What facts can you put forth?

          I can see SK being late to the game of polling in this context. They were culturally more Conservative and no major changes happened until after about the 2010’s. Once more of the West’s culture began bleeding into theirs thanks to the Internet which them bled back into ours.

          UK and Germany are likely to have longer polls. Plus, they do not vote like the USA. UK is pretty Right wing comperatively speaking, and Germany has been pretty Left leaning for 20+ years. As I follow their politics.

          I think it could be perceived as vague since the charts lack the above cultural reference points so albeit the changes are likely correct, their actual starting points are likely different and relative to themselves over being a 1:1 absolute to all. We would have to see the methology of how they did the polls. But the trends are likely correct.

          As far as the USA, looking at the last election results by demographic seems to track with the USA chart. Specially among minorities.

        Presumably they are starting wherever the trend “started”, although I’d like to see what it was doing before that to see if this is an unusual trend or not

        Because gaps in data are a thing? I dunno, it doesn’t really seem to change the story or the outcome. Your concerns seem overblown.

      Omg I didn’t even notice that. It’s like the more you look at this the worse it gets.

      I’m guessing the data sets they used were collected at different start times and they didn’t want to truncate it
