A web app for public opinion, and how it changes over time
OpinionSphere is a free web app for public opinion polls that are kept permanently. Vote in one tap, see where you stand, and watch the trend chart showing how opinion changed over time.
How it works
- Open a poll and tap your answer. No account, no email, no install. Your first vote takes about five seconds.
- See where you stand. The result appears underneath the moment you vote. The share each option holds, and how many people have answered.
- Open the trend. Every poll carries a chart of how the answer moved, from the day it opened to now. You can narrow it to the last day, week, month or year.
- Come back later. Polls don’t expire by default. The same link works in six months, and the curve will have more in it.
The part most poll tools throw away
Almost every online poll shows you a percentage and then forgets. The vote counts survive; the story of how they got there does not. So you can learn that 62% agree today, and never learn that it was 38% in May.
OpinionSphere keeps that history. Each poll stores a snapshot of the standings. Daily for ordinary polls, hourly for ones that are moving fast, and draws them as a share-of-vote chart, so a lead change is something you can actually see rather than infer. Poll authors can mark the moments that mattered on the chart (a result, an announcement, a resignation), and each marker has its own comment thread for arguing about what it meant.
That is the whole idea: a permanent, searchable record of what people think, and of when they changed their minds.
Pulse polls. When people can change their minds
Most polls here are one-and-done: you vote once and it stands. A Pulse poll is different. Voters can change their answer whenever they like, and it is sampled every hour. Use it for questions where sentiment genuinely rises and falls, like how you feel about a team mid-series. On a Pulse poll the chart shows the current standing over time, not a running total.
Ask your own question
Creating a poll needs a free account (voting never does). Write the question, add your options, and share the link anywhere. WhatsApp, X, Telegram, a group chat. You choose whether results are visible before voting, whether people can comment, and whether it closes on a deadline or stays open forever. Once a poll has more than a handful of votes its question is locked and options become add-only, so the history behind it stays honest.
What this is not
This is a social sentiment platform, not scientific measurement. Everyone here chose to vote, which is not the same as a representative sample of any country or group. The same limitation every open web poll has, including the ones that don’t mention it. Treat the numbers as a picture of the people who turned up, and the trend as a picture of how those people moved. Both are genuinely interesting. Neither is a national survey.
Where to start
Browse polls by subject, Cricket, Movies, Politics, Tech, Lifestyle, General • or open the topic directory to see what people are arguing about. The FAQ answers the sampling and privacy questions properly, and the guide walks through every switch on the create screen.
