Do you like voting in polls?

i’m not including a “don’t know” or “sometimes” option. as for me, it would have to be “sometimes”.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this poll will fall prey to self-selection bias.

I think everybody who hates voting in polls should make an exception for this one, just to mess with the OP’s head.

I’m bookmarking this thread in case I ever need to teach a statistics class and need an example of selection bias.

I voted “no”. I decline to vote in most polls.

Only if they are non-public (cannot see who voted for what). I boycott public polls as a matter of principle. There are several people who always make their polls public, even when it has no possible bearing on the subject. I just back out as soon as I see that.

Any body else dislike public polls?

Didn’t vote. I’m a third party sorta dude.

Maybe you should create a private poll for this question. :smiley:

But seriously, I am more likely to vote if respondents’ identities are kept private. I vote in public polls only if my answer is something that I don’t care was broadcast on the evening news.

I haven’t voted in this poll because I don’t know yet whether it’s public or private. If it’s private, I’ll vote. But given this post, you can probably figure out how I’d answer, so maybe I won’t vote after all. :wink:

I voted no as well. I refrain from voting in public polls and usually avoid polls that don’t include enough options. It seems like those two options tend to dominate IMHO.

I prefer voting in booths.

Sorry, I spoilt my paper. :o
