This is a fun one. I had YouGov America ask 29,000 people how they organize their books.

- 29% don't organize their books
- 22% sort by genre
- 19% alphabetize
- 3% sort by color

But it turns out this depends HEAVILY on how many books you own. My story: today.yougov.com/society/articl…

The first ever poll I wrote, ran and analyzed for YouGov America asked Americans how much various political labels applied to them.

By a smaller margin, Americans are more likely to say workers are more productive in the office
