Me too.  I think it's a great idea.  Meta-polling seems like useful feedback
for the poll conductor and for the community in general.  I'd like it to be
multiple-select, though, since it's possible that one or reasons more apply.

Definitely multiple answers may apply, I guess I wasn't clear enough on
that point.

How does the following sound?  Do the choices cover all the bases?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am choosing not to answer this poll because:

x One selection isn't enough; I need to be able to select two or more
x A crucial selection I want to make is not present
x This poll is too much effort for me; if it were simpler, I would do it
x I don't think I'm part of the target audience of this poll
x Others may enjoy it, but I prefer more serious polls
x I don't understand the question
x I understand the question but dislike the way it is phrased
x The question seems biased toward a particular outcome
x The choices seem biased toward a particular outcome
x (other)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

One worry is that too many choices are presented here.

I wonder if the last three before "other" could be a single choice.

And it would only display these as applicable.

Are any choices other than the 1st only applicable to particular
mechanical types of polls?
