Why use Polites?
Social media is overflowing with opinions, but its polls are often limited: respondents are not qualified, results circulate within audience bubbles, and algorithms heavily influence who sees what.
Traditional polls, on the other hand, are rare, expensive, and results are often reserved for those who purchase them.
Polites offers a different approach: an open, free, and transparent application where everyone can ask questions, give their opinion, and view the results. To make public opinion truly public.
When a poll receives enough responses, Polites can apply statistical weighting to bring the results closer to the French population and improve their representativeness.
