A simple and easy straw poll
Sometimes you need to quickly ask for an opinion your friends or colleagues, that's a perfect moment for a straw poll. It is a single-choice poll by default. If you need to ask for multiple choices, you can use our full-featured poll maker.
The term "strawpoll" might come from holding up a straw (i.e. a piece of grass) and watching it bend to see which way the wind was blowing. Nowadays this is one of the most popular ways to ask for an opinion. Straw polls are highly used in the context of politics.
