All the poll questions readers suggested we ask in 2026

The final list from our community question-writing exercise in December

Last month, I asked all the readers here at Strength In Numbers to propose a question to add to our monthly surveys in 2026. Over 200 people pitched in, mostly with good and usable questions. Thanks to everyone who participated!

We (Elliott + Verasight, my survey partner!) just went into the field with our January poll, and part of the process for that survey was compiling all the questions y’all sent in so we could pick a few to run. For transparency (and fun!), I figured I’d share the complete list of your questions below. I have done a very rough edit of the question text and response options for clarity. Not all of these questions will be used this year, and most are not in the final form we would use in a poll; I’m just sharing them for fun.

Happy reading. If these spark any additional questions or comments, drop ‘em below!
