RE: Do you like the idea of polls?

in #dpoll6 years ago

Yep, I think that this is an issue with them in general as design, wording and position all have quite dramatic, if not obvious effects. On the internet their are other concerns including time of day. There is one newspaper in Finland that runs online polls and publishes results as 'relevant' when they are broadcast for a few hours during the middle of a working day. Obviously, who has access to being able to answer is going to skew the results markedly regardless of the number of responses. I am guessing at 1 pm on a Thursday, not too many business people are giving their response about the state of the economy.
