Poll Comparison

This article is relevant to our Live, Flex and Video Conversations. You can find more information about our product offerings here.

This feature will be available in the platform starting Monday, November 17th.

Overview

Poll Comparison lets you easily compare results from similar poll questions asked multiple times in a single Remesh conversation.

This feature is designed for researchers who want to compare participant responses to concepts, messages, or ideas. For example you might compare how participants respond to different ad creatives, product concepts, or policy variations without needing to manually cross-check results later. Poll Comparison is compatible with poll questions in all Remesh Conversation types.

Set Up a Poll Comparison Table

You can prepare your table before your conversation begins, while it’s collecting data, or after it’s ended.

Navigate to Analysis in your conversation.
Select Poll Comparison then Map Questions

At least 2 single select poll questions must be programmed in your Discussion guide before you can begin mapping questions.

Select Edit Table. Remesh will automatically map matching poll questions that share similar wording. You can also click the drop downs to adjust these.
Review, then click done when you are ready.

Set up this page before your conversation starts, so you’re ready to analyze as results come in.

Customize and Edit

You can make customizations to your comparison table beyond just which questions are matched.

Rename Your Group: By default, groups will be named Group A, Group B, etc. You can edit these names to make them something more easily recognizable like “Leading Concept”
Add Media: Add media that was uploaded to your discussion guide so you can quickly identify which column refers to which visual.

Response Options: Use filters to adjust which response categories appear in your analysis. This allows you to group together responses that were similar. For example:
- Top 2 Box: Combines the top two positive responses.
- Bottom 3 box: Combines the bottom two negative responses.
Show response options: Toggle on to show the response options associated with selection made (for example: Top 2 Box)
Rearrange Columns: Rearrange the columns that were premade for easier quick analysis.
Add and Delete Columns: Customize your columns by adding and deleting for additional comparison.
Reset: You can always reset mappings to default.

Analyze Results

Your Poll Comparison will start displaying responses as soon as the attached polls begin collecting responses. Simply click the analysis button then Poll Comparison to view your comparison throughout your Conversation and after. You can continue to make edits to your question mapping and settings as your Conversation collects data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create a Poll Comparison before my conversation starts?
Yes. Poll Comparison is available in the Analysis tab before, during, and after your conversation.
Does Poll Comparison only work with identical question text?
Remesh automatically maps questions that are very similar in wording. If questions are not identical but are quite close to one another, it may still map them. You can manually adjust mappings if questions to your liking after the initial automatic mapping.
Can I edit or delete questions once mapped?
You can edit poll question mapping before, during or after your Conversation.
