Why I'm Loving LinkedIn Polls
LinkedIn has been a great tool. Through many changes and enhancements over the years, I believe LinkedIn is still one of the best places to network on the internet.
Over the last few months, I have been running several LinkedIn polls, mostly about business and things trending in the news. The problem with the news is too many people are being paid to tell you what to think. With a network of over 17,000 connections here on LinkedIn, I can typically get a few hundred responses to polls, getting a better understanding about what the general public thinks. Especially since on LinkedIn you have mostly working professionals all around the United States and the World.
I wanted to share the responses to some recent questions I polled.
So much praise from the majority of the media on the passing of this spending bill. An overwhelming 92% of working professionals believe it should not have been approved. Not to mention they had to private jet the bill to St. Croix for President Biden to sign.
In a similar poll, I asked followers if they think the Federal Government is spending too much money. Again I saw similar results.
I also like examining what people think about when it comes to LinkedIn. Here was a poll, where I asked, "how many times users check messages on the platform."
Right before Christmas, I ran the following poll, which gathered a lot of impressions and responses.
It was also interesting to see how people felt about funding the war in Ukraine.
Recently, Elon Musk ran a poll on his Twitter account to see if he should step down as the CEO for Twitter. The majority said he should, but found a much different result from my network of working professionals.
Being a car guy, I like to also have some fun to think what peoples preferred thoughts are when it comes to vehicles.
And last but not least, this one hits the nail on the heads on how the general public feels about the media. I'll let you decide for yourself.
Overall, it is up to you to make informed decisions for yourself. Try running polls on your LinkedIn profile to see what responses you get to questions you ponder.
Until next time, keep it real.
