Live polls
We ask, you answer, we publish the result — including the awkward ones. One vote per reader, no weighting, no spin. Every result carries the methodology note so you can judge the question, not just the answer.

No open polls
Nothing is being voted on at the moment. New questions open here as soon as they are live, and the result stays up once voting closes.
How we run a poll
One reader, one vote
Votes are keyed to a salted hash of your request fingerprint. No cookies, no cross-poll tracking, no IP stored.
The question is published
Every poll ships with the exact wording and the order options were shown in. Reordering changes results, so we don't.
No weighting, no spinner
We do not adjust results after the fact. If the sample is unrepresentative, we say so in the write-up.
Closed means closed
Once a poll closes the result is final and archived. We do not quietly extend a question that is going badly.
