The 60 questions

Why yes or no polls get so many votes
They ask for almost nothing: no reading options, no weighing, one tap. Used well, that makes them the quickest way to hear from everyone.
One tap, no deliberation
A two-button poll can be answered before someone has decided whether to bother. That is why it suits a busy group chat or a story that is on screen for a few seconds.
Add "maybe" only when people would guess
For questions about the future or about how people feel, a forced yes or no makes some people pick at random. A third option keeps the result honest. For facts and opinions, leave it out: the split is the fun.
Let the result pick your next question
A yes or no answer tells you where people stand, not why. When a result surprises you, follow it with a multiple-choice poll that asks for the reason.
Yes or no fits every poll app
Two options fit every platform below. Launch one here and share the link anywhere, or paste the question into your app's own poll.
| Where | Options per poll | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Poll Maker | Every question on this page | No account to create or vote. Share one link anywhere. |
| Instagram story | Up to 43 | Keep options to a word or two. |
| X | Up to 4, 25 characters each1 | The card on each question says when it fits. |
| Teams chat | Up to 64 | Made with Microsoft Forms inside the chat. |
| Up to 12, 100 characters each2 | Several answers are allowed unless you switch it off. |
Yes or no polls: short answers
What makes a good yes or no poll question?
It can be answered in a second, it means the same thing to everyone, and the group is likely to split. "Can you whistle?" works. "Are you happy?" does not, because people read it in different ways.
Should a yes or no poll have a maybe option?
Only when a forced choice would make people guess, for example about plans or feelings. For facts and opinions, two options give a cleaner and more interesting result.
How do I make a yes or no poll on Instagram?
Add the poll sticker to your story and type the question. The two answers can stay as yes and no. If you want a result you can share outside Instagram, launch the same question here and post the link.
How long should a yes or no poll stay open?
A day is plenty in a group chat or a story. For a team decision, close it before the meeting where you will act on the result.
Ask your group a yes or no question
Pick one, launch it, and send the link. You will usually have most of the answers within the hour.
