| Phrase | poll |
| Text | The word "poll," in this podcast, means a survey or questionnaire that collects people's opinions about something: "This is an interesting poll about whether people think that watching television is bad for children." We use the word "poll" with the verb "to conduct": "Do you know if anyone has conducted a poll to find out why country music is becoming so popular?" As a verb, "to poll" means to ask a lot of people what they think about something: "A research company is polling more than 2,000 people to find out what they think about the president's plan to give more money to health and education." The phrase "at the polls" means in an election: "How did your uncle do at the polls? Was he elected?" |
