Poll skewing

[Chimpy]

Just something I noticed on the latest poll. People are picking the options at the top of the list. Maybe they are the most popular, but it could be people are just picking the options at the top? Maybe it would be better if the list was mixed up for each view to get a better unbiased representation of visitor's choices?

Which poll are you referring to? It's not something I've noticed myself!

In most ways, EN World polls are not what one should call reliable data anyway.

But, I would not be surprised if those making the polls tend to put what they think are the most likely answers at the top of the list, and put answers that come to mind second and third towards the bottom of their lists.

Be that as it may, I presume the polls are stock functionality, and shuffling the presentation for each user would mean writing code for a new feature.
