    Abstract: A method to conduct a public opinion poll via application on smart phone or electronic device is discussed. This is a survey based method of gathering public opinion data, without using the traditional method of a telephone based survey, or emerging method of deducing public opinion by internet search and preference methods tracking. The concept in this context is to propose that an application resident on a smart phone/device is utilized to poll the public without a verbal exchange with a caller. This differs from the current telephone based method of randomly calling citizens of the polling population, or web based surveys that don't employ standard polling methodology on which to base the results. The concept proposes to include a background statement putting the poll questions in context, limiting poll to three questions and three possible responses for each, and providing a countdown timer indicating time remaining before poll is ended.
