Why does YouGov have low credibility? My sense is the opposite: they were the only polling company to get accurate results in important recent votes.

That's a radical shift from the 6% of Americans who thought so according to a Gallup survey: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/06/gallup-poll-vaccines_n_6818416.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/06/gallup-poll-vaccine...
- tzs 10y ago> 31% of Trump voters think vaccines cause autism? > That's a radical shift from the 6% of Americans who thought so according to a Gallup survey The Gallup poll was filing people into three categories on that question (yes/no/uncertain). The YouGov survey filed them into four categories (definitely yes/probably yes/probably no/definitely no). If we assume that the two "probably" categories in the latter correspond to the "uncertain" category in the former, the results of the two surveys are fairly close.
