Must say, these results aren't quite what I expected! Expected the breakdown to be much more biased towards the "Yes, more" answer, but the answers roughly conform to what they "should" be (if you assume a normal distribution)

I love your Twitter polls but the selection effects are excruciating! (Not just on yours but on all Twitter polls.) Everything has to be bracketed with, “Of Devon’s followers who noticed this poll and chose to answer it...”

Oh yeah absolutely! I almost stopped at one point for this reason, but then I reflected that it's probably still a better sampling that asking similar questions to just my closest friends, which is what I'd likely do otherwise (or perhaps just not at all...!)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I used to worry about that, but I've come to like it. It means the poll isn't revealing about the population-level answer to the question. Rather, it's really revealing something about the way the person asking the question relates to the world.

In this case: Devon's tweeps probably have a relatively realistic view of themselves!
