Polls and Questions are the fastest way to spark engagement and conversation in your Mighty Network.
You can create them on the Community Plan and higher, from the web, iOS, or Android apps.
Types of Polls and Questions
Your Mighty Network offers one Question type and three Poll types:
Question
Multiple Choice Poll
Hot Cold Poll
Percentage Poll
Enable Polls and Questions
Polls and Questions can be created in any Space that has the Feed feature enabled.
As a Host, you can choose who can post them:
Everyone, or
Only Hosts and Moderators
Once enabled, open the Create menu in the upper-right corner to choose a Question or Poll.
Single Questions
Create a single question and prompt members to share their answers. Responses for single questions are public by default, meaning members can see each other's responses.
Multiple Choice Polls
Create a Multiple Choice Poll by selecting it from the post input field.
You can add up to five answer options.
Responses for multiple choice polls are public by default, meaning members can see who chose each option.
To make responses private, check Private Responses before posting.
You can change privacy settings until the first response is submitted.
Once posted:
You can edit the question text, but not the answer options, to protect members’ original responses.
Members can click any response after voting to see who chose that option (if Public Responses are on).
As members vote, results update in real time, showing how their choice compares to the rest of the Network.
Hot Cold Polls
Hot Cold Polls measure sentiment along a spectrum from negative to positive.
They display as a horizontal bar where members select their answer on a sliding scale.
Responses are always private, and this setting can’t be changed before or after posting.
Percentage Polls
Percentage Polls allow members to express a response as a percentage.
They’re great for gauging opinion strength or agreement levels.
Responses are always private, and the privacy setting cannot be changed.
View Poll Results as a Host
On the web, Network Hosts can view poll results without voting themselves.
To view results:
Open the full detail view of the poll.
Click the circle with a checkmark icon in the upper-right corner.
Note: Poll results can’t be exported, and individual member answers are not accessible.
Bookmark or Mute a Poll
Open the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of any poll to:
Bookmark Poll – save it to your personal Bookmarks list.
Mute Poll – stop receiving notifications about new comments or activity on that poll.
Poll and Question Data in Mighty Insights
You can track Poll and Question engagement in your Network through the Feed Contributions chart in Mighty Insights.
The Infinite Question Engine
The Infinite Question Engine automatically generates Polls and Questions tailored to your community or course.
It uses your Space Description (or your Network’s Big Purpose, if there isn’t one) to create relevant engagement prompts—keeping conversations flowing without extra work.
This feature is available on the Business Plan and up.

Turn Comments On or Off
You can control whether people can comment on your Polls and Questions.
Who can toggle comments:
Network Hosts and Moderators: on any post across the Network.
Space Hosts and Moderators: on any post within their Space.
Members: only on posts they created.
How it works:
Open the three-dot menu on a question or poll.
Select Turn Off Comments or Turn On Comments.
When comments are turned off, existing comments are hidden (not deleted) and will reappear if you turn comments back on.
Additional Details
Hosts can create unlimited polls.
Members can post one poll per hour to prevent spam.
Polls and Questions have a 190-character limit.
Polls can’t be edited, closed, or have answers changed once published.
The color of your poll matches your Space Color; text color adjusts automatically for readability.
Trending Polls and Questions surface to more members automatically.
