My opinion about polls...
What do you think about these? are they a complete waste of time?
Add comments as you see fit.

Exactly dear Evo. PF poll starters are simply too daft for PF poll answerers.Evo said:PF polls never have enough choices. PF poll starters should anticipate the quirkiness of PF members.
I rest my (evo's) case. :rofl:mattmns said:I was going to choose the 3rd choice, but the poll creator made such terrible choices that I had to go with the 4th.
To clarify. Why did you add a second part to each option?
"I've NEVER seen one I didn't like!"
"and I usually feel good about my answer"
"and I usually feel like, in hindsight, I picked the wrong answer"
"People should learn to write."
Many people may think that Pf polls are great, but now have to say that they have never seen one that they did not like.
Then the third one, why do I have to think that I chose the wrong answer if PF polls are a mixed bag? Are there correct answers to polls like these?
And for the last one, yes people should learn to write.
:rofl: :zzz:honestrosewater said:Maybe an other option should be added automatically to polls. And an undecided option. And indifferent. And all of the above. And possibly some more...
Yes, those are good options too. And don't forget none of the above (:grumpy:), I'm too shy to voice my opinion (:shy:), and I'm too sexy for this poll ().Smurf said::rofl: :zzz:
Inconceivable! They must be punished. But how? Flogging, whirligig, Christina Aguilera? Hmmm... I think we should take a poll.Math Is Hard said:My opinion of polls is that they are not to be trusted. Notice that 31.48% of the people who answered this poll said they don't answer polls:

:rofl: :rofl:Ivan Seeking said:Any GD poll should include:
1) Off topic options
2) insults to Smurf
3) At least one sheep joke that alludes to Wolram or Moonbear
Any poll should also include the following options with no explanation:
1) The Sisterhoods
2) Because Evo hurt herself again
3) Yomamma [never say more]
4) I'm afraid to answer because Chroot is around

The purpose of conducting polls is to gather and analyze data on public opinions and attitudes towards a specific topic or issue. This information can then be used to inform decision making and guide policies.
The accuracy of polls depends on various factors such as sample size, methodology, and the wording of questions. Generally, larger and more diverse samples with well-designed questions tend to yield more accurate results.
Polls can have some influence on public opinion, but they are not the sole factor. Other factors such as media coverage, personal experiences, and political campaigns also play a role in shaping public opinion.
Online polls can be reliable if they are conducted using proper sampling and methodology. However, they may not accurately represent the entire population and can be easily manipulated, so they should be interpreted with caution.
Polls can be used in scientific research to gather data and insights on various social, political, and cultural phenomena. They can help researchers understand public attitudes, behaviors, and trends, and can also be used to test hypotheses and validate theories.
