Jumba Forum Polls

From JumbaWiki

Various opinion polls have appeared on the Jumba Forums since the forums began in April 2006.
In most polls, voters are allowed to select only one option, but in others, multiple choices are allowed.

Notes:

The poll Title links to the actual poll on the forums.
A bold title indicates the poll was started by Jumba staff to get feedback from customers.
Don't just rely on the popular response shown - some results were very close, while others were a landslide in favour of one option. You will need to visit the poll page for more detailed information and comments by voters.
Many of the polls are still open, so the number of voters and the result is likely to change. Visit the forum link for the latest voting.
