Poll by the numbers

Real figures with their sources. All Poll facts →

about 3.7%

In a 2014 Pew study, what was the cumulative response rate for a national survey once the recruitment process was fully accounted for?

That low figure reflects how many people are contacted, screened, and recruited before ever answering.

64% (web) vs. 63% (phone)

In that same 2014 Pew study, how did web-survey completion rates compare to phone-survey completion rates among people who were reached?

The two modes performed almost the same once someone had already agreed to participate.

500 interviews a day

Until 2018, Gallup's Daily Tracking survey conducted about how many interviews per day, 350 days a year?

About 70% of those interviews were conducted by cellphone, 30% by landline.

Questions

How does ThePoll.com work?

Each question asks you to guess a real number about surveys, polls, and public opinion research. After you answer you see how everyone else guessed, then the real figure and where it comes from.

How is the daily round scored?

Four stats and one opinion poll. A correct guess earns 100 points plus up to 50 for speed, with a combo bonus for answers in a row. The range next to the right answer earns 40. Opinion polls earn 25 for having your say, and nailing every stat adds 150.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every stat links to its source, such as government statistics agencies, research organizations and industry groups. Figures are checked against the source before they go live.

Is it free?

Yes. Playing, streaks, badges and leaderboards are free, and your votes stay anonymous.
