LinkedIn poll generator

A poll lives or dies on whether the voter has a stake in the answer. Describe the topic or debate below and get three complete polls, question and options together, each inside LinkedIn's real limits of 140 characters for the question and 30 per option, and each built so the results are worth a follow-up post.

Fill in what you have. More context, better output.

Free, no account. What you type is sent to our API once, to generate the result, and is not stored.

Example run

Three polls on the same debate

Each poll fits LinkedIn’s real limits, 140 characters for the question and 30 per option, and each takes a different door into the same argument: practice, trade-off, then the uncomfortable version.

What went in

The decision, question, or topic
Should engineering managers still write code? Our team is split on it and I want to see where the industry actually lands.
Who should vote
Engineering managers and CTOs
What you want to learn or start
A real split I can write a follow-up post about

What came back

Poll 1 · Your practice

How much code do you write as an EM? None, and that is right A little, to stay sharp Regular feature work Depends on team size

Poll 2 · The trade-off

A new EM finds 4 spare hours a week. Where should they go? Code review, not code 1:1s and coaching Writing and docs Shipping small fixes

Poll 3 · Hot seat

EMs who stopped coding entirely: can they still judge technical work? Yes, for years For a while, then no No, it fades fast

Beyond the demo

This page writes from a form. The product writes from you.

The generator above works with whatever fits in a few fields. Connect LinkedIn to Depost AI, the AI content team B2B founders and teams run on LinkedIn, and the same kind of draft starts from your analytics, your voice, and the buyers you are actually trying to reach.

Drafts that start from your analytics

The agents read your posting history first: the hooks that earned the click, the pillars your audience answers, the rhythm of what worked. The draft sounds like you because it learned from you, not from a form.

A reply ready for every person who matters

Build custom lists of the people you want to stay visible to. Their new posts arrive in one feed with a comment drafted in your voice under each. You edit or approve every one before it goes anywhere.

From draft to published, without the paste

Finished drafts go to the queue and publish through LinkedIn’s official API, with the first comment written alongside. Connection notes and follow-ups are drafted with the context already in place. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Connect LinkedIn and you have a strategy, your pillars, and your first post ideas in about fifteen minutes.

The three angles, and why options matter more than questions

The generator writes three polls on purpose, because the same topic supports very different votes. Asking about the reader’s own practice (“How much code do you write as an EM?”) gets the widest participation, since everyone has an answer. Forcing a trade-off (“Four spare hours a week: where do they go?”) gets the most thoughtful comments, because there is no safe option. And the hot-seat version, the question people argue about in private, gets the strongest reactions and the most reposts, at the price of some people scrolling past.

Whichever you pick, the options carry the poll. Thirty characters is enough for a position but not for a hedge, which is exactly the constraint that makes polls work: voters have to commit. Write options that cover the honest range, including the one you disagree with, stated fairly. A poll where one option is obviously the author’s favourite reads as a setup, and people do not vote in setups.

The poll is half the play

Treat the results as material. A few hundred votes splitting 58 to 42 on a real question is data nobody else has, and the follow-up post (“I asked 400 engineering leaders whether EMs should code. Here is where it landed, and where I do”) routinely outperforms the poll itself. Plan the two together: the poll early in the week while your audience is active, the follow-up once the vote has settled. If you want the numbers behind your own posting rhythm, the engagement rate calculator on this site gives you the baseline to compare against.

Questions

What are LinkedIn’s limits for polls?
The question is capped at 140 characters, each answer option at 30 characters, and a poll takes 2 to 4 options. Duration is your choice of 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or 2 weeks. The generator writes inside all of these, so every result can be posted as-is.
How does this poll generator work?
Describe the topic or debate, say who should vote, and you get three complete polls: question plus options, each taking a different angle on the same subject. One usually asks about the voter’s own practice, one forces a trade-off, and one tests the position people argue about in private.
What makes a poll worth voting on?
A stake. People vote when the question touches how they actually work and the options cover the honest range of answers. The polls that die are the ones with one obviously right answer and three straw men, because there is nothing to disagree with, and disagreement is what a poll is for.
Do polls still get reach on LinkedIn?
Less than in their 2020 heyday, when the feed was drowning in them, but a good one still earns cheap engagement: voting is a one-tap action, and each vote tells LinkedIn the post is worth showing. The real value is the comments a divisive option pulls in and the follow-up post the results give you.
What should I do with the results?
Write the follow-up. A poll that splits 60/40 across a few hundred votes is original material nobody else has: post the result, take a side, and tag the discussion that produced it. The poll is the setup; the follow-up post is usually the better performer.
Is it free?
Yes, without an account. A daily cap keeps it available for everyone. What you type is sent once to generate the polls and is not stored.
