How the polling programme works

Three polls run every week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They are quick audience snapshots, not nationally representative surveys, and every result is published with the evidence readers need to interpret it properly.

1

We ask

Questions are shared with the Unifresher audience through channels such as Instagram Stories.

2

Students respond

Respondents select from the answer options shown in the poll. Participation is voluntary.

3

We publish

The result page shows the exact counts, percentages, collection date, method and limitations.

What should we ask students next?

Students, journalists, universities and organisations can suggest questions for the ongoing programme. Suggestions do not guarantee publication, and Unifresher retains editorial control over the wording and interpretation.
