FAQ: List of Polls Alphabetical Within Category

I would appreciate feedback on whether this is a useful breakdown of live polls. Someone reviewing the list of polls on my blog suggested a list of polls by category. This is my attempt to address that suggestion. This is my initial cut. I've been able to categorize about half of the polls. Most of the polls are not categorized (zxNoCategory). I would appreciate suggestions for categories using short keywords as shown below. http://mypollwatch.blogspot.com/2018/06/categories.html Acting Action Actor Actress Adaptation AFI Africa African-American Age AlternateStorylines Amazon Animals Animation Anniversary Anticipated AprilFoolsDay Art-and-Literature Awards BadFilms BAFTA Beauty Biography Bird Birthdays Bodyguard Bond Books BoxOffice British Cannes Cars Casting Celebrities Censorship Characters Christmas Chroma Cinema Cinematography City ClassicFilms Cliche Collaboration ColNeedham Colors Comedy ComicBook Comic-Con ComicStrip Costume Countries Couples Credits Crime Critics CriticsChoice Culture DCEU Deaths Detective Dinosaur Directors Disaster Disney Documentaries Dragon Drama Dreams DVD Emmys Endings Episodic Era Europe Fans Fantasy Fashion FeatureFilm Festivals Fictional FilmHistory FilmNoir Flags Food ForeignLanguage Franchise GameOfThrones Games GameShow Gangster Genres GoldenGlobes Hair Halloween HarryPotter Hero Hijacked History Holiday Hollywood Horror Iconic IMDb IMDb-India-Spotlight IMDbPollBoardPicks IndependentFilms Indian InMemoriam Job Kids Language Lawyer LGBTQ Locations Logo LotR Make-up Mask MCU Memorable Men Mentor Moments Monster MPAA Music Mysteries Names Narrators NationalFilmRegistry Object Olympics OnTheSet Oscars Outerspace Overrated Parody People Performances PhysicalFeatures Pirate Plot Political Posters Prequel ProductionBudget ProductionCompany ProductionProblems Quotes Razzie RealityTelevision References Relationships ReleaseDate Religion Remake Ridiculous Robots Romance RottenTomatoes Royalty Runtime Sadness SAG Scenes School Sci-Fi Seasons Sequels Series Shark SherlockHolmes Shorts Shows-within-Shows SilentFilms Similarities Smile SNL Sound Sports StarTrek StarWars State STEM Streaming Summer Superhero Tagline TalkShow Technology Teen Television Thanksgiving Theme Thrillers Title Top250 Trailers Transportation Trilogy Trivia UserDemographic UserRating Vampire VFX VideoGames Villains VirtualReality Voices War Weapons Weather Western Women Writing Zombie zxNoCategory zzClosed zzRemoved

As of 23-July-2021: There are 585 polls that are not categorized (zxNoCategory). Sadly, I did not have time to categorize the majority of the polls from 17-December-2020 to 23-July-2021. I probably will not have an opportunity to categorize any new poll any time soon.

@dan_dassow Wow, it must demand a lot of time to categorize them, but it is very useful, I am using the feature already👍

@mariojacobs, @Pencho15 has been extremely helpful in categorizing the polls. He accounts for a large portions of the categorizations. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to share what needs to be categorized until I publish the statistics. I hope to eventually assign a category to polls without categories early next year with the help of the poll community at large.

I'll Gladly help again. Maybe it could be useful if we suggested a category as soon as each poll is published to avoid a new lag in categorization.

@Pencho15, Thank you. Asking established poll authors to suggest categories would be a great help.
