A decade ago, FR had polls on candidates and topics.
I haven’t seen any of them in a long while. Not sure whether they were discontinued due to FR software changes or other reasons.
Could have been because too many zombies were logging in to vote in them.

I remember the polls too, from lurking days.
Didn’t think about zombie voting.
Polling might be worthwhile if we could ensure only active posting members participate.
Interest in this to better know the community, ie: veterans, age range, political spectrum ie: social fiscal conservative range.
There is always the risk that disseminated polling results could cast narrowly typecast FR, and permit opposition to accuse us of being an echo chamber.
