Poll Questions

What Are Poll Questions?

Polls are used when answers are subjective, with no single response being more correct than another. They are ideal for:

• Gauging audience opinions on a topic.

• Measuring sentiment or industry trends.

• Encouraging engagement without competitive scoring.

Participants can see how their responses compare to others, or results can be hidden for privacy-sensitive topics.

Poll Structure

• Multiple-choice format.

• No correct answers—all responses are treated equally.

• Optional participation points can be awarded.

• Results can be shared with participants or kept hidden.

Showing results can help reassure respondents that they are not alone in their views, fostering a sense of community.

Scoring Options

• Points can be awarded for participating in a poll.

• No weighted scoring—if you need weighted answers, consider using an Assessment instead.
