# Predictions & Polls

Community sentiment polls

Community sentiment polls

## What are Predictions?

Predictions are community sentiment polls about cards, the meta, and the market. Create a poll, let the community vote, and see the results in real time. It's a lightweight way to gauge community opinion on any TCG topic.

## What you can do

* **Create a poll:** Ask a question with multiple options.
* **Vote:** Cast your vote on any open poll.
* **View results:** See live results as the community votes.
* **Close a poll:** The creator can close voting when ready.

## Creating a poll

1. Go to the Predictions page and click Create Poll.
2. Write your question and add 2 or more answer options.
3. Optionally set a closing time.
4. Publish. Your poll appears on the Predictions page.

## Results

Results update live as votes come in. You can see the percentage for each option and the total vote count. After a poll closes, the final results are archived.

## Closing and resolution

Polls can close automatically at a set time or manually by the creator. The Sentiment Assistant can also help analyse community sentiment trends across polls over time.
