Polls collected from the internet are very unreliable and can sometimes be biased towards a group, race or religion. The aim of this investigate was to see if polls were mostly worded in a specific way that manipulates what we choose making the polls very unreliable and Bias.

For this poll to be more accurate it is suggested that more respondents are in need and that the poll has many more choices.
For the second poll it gives eight options to pick from giving a wider range of choice and if people are unsure can pick other. It is worded adequately but the information is collected from certain social media sites making it hard for people to vote if they don’t use them. This poll does not state the amount of respondents that have participated in this survey, this could lead to bias. Recommendations to improve this poll would be to make sure the number of respondents where included somewhere so people can get an understanding on how many people
