Make a poll people can answer instantly
Good two-choice prompts are balanced and easy to understand: “Sunrise or sunset?”, “Sweet or salty?” or “Beach day or city day?” Avoid choices where one option is insulting or reveals private information.
Turn a poll into a conversation
After the vote, share the result and ask a friendly follow-up such as “What made you choose that?” This gives people a chance to explain their picks without pressure.
