About this poll: How optimistic are you about the future?
Hope or worry? A simple question that says a lot about where people are right now. This Society poll asks one simple question and counts one verified vote per person. The answers to choose from are Very optimistic, Somewhat optimistic, Somewhat pessimistic, Very pessimistic.
Unlike online polls that anyone can flood with clicks, every Anypoll vote is tied to a confirmed mobile number, and the profile basics are used to weight results by age group and place, so they reflect the whole population rather than the loudest voices. Your individual vote stays private; only totals are published.
Questions about this poll
How do I vote in this poll?
Pick one answer above: Very optimistic, Somewhat optimistic, Somewhat pessimistic and Very pessimistic. You sign in once and confirm a mobile number, so every person votes only once.
When are the results published?
Results are sealed until Oct 31. Until then only the number of votes is shown, so early results can't sway anyone. After that, the totals are public.
Can I change my vote?
Yes. While the poll is open you can change your answer as often as you like. Only your latest answer counts.
Why is the order of the answers different for everyone?
Every visitor sees the answers in their own random order, so the first answer gets no head start. Scales like Yes to No are flipped for half of voters, and answers like Not sure stay last.
Who runs Anypoll?
Anypoll is an independent, non-partisan polling platform. No party or sponsor decides the questions or the results. Donations and the Impact Treasury are handled by the Anypoll Foundation, a separate nonprofit being set up for this purpose.
