Poll
Also known as: Tweet poll, Twitter poll
A multiple-choice tweet that lets viewers vote on options for up to 7 days.
In depth
Polls let you ask up to 4 options with a duration between 5 minutes and 7 days. Voters' identities are hidden; only the aggregate counts are visible to you.
Polls earn outsized engagement because voting is a single tap. They're also one of the highest-converting formats for audience research — ask your followers what they want, then make it. The algorithm treats votes as engagement, but reach for polls peaks on day 1 and tapers fast.
Now put it to work
AutoTweet generates and schedules X content tuned for the algorithm — the same one this glossary just explained.
