About Us

Real-Time Public Opinion

Our Mission

Our mission is to raise participation in, and awareness of, public opinion across all segments of society.

What We Do

Fat Finger is a mobile app and website that sends users a topical three-question mini-poll every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and offers a searchable archive of over 5,000 survey questions dating back to 2012.

Why It's Important

Democracy requires a public that can express its views and knows the views of others.

How We Do it

To increase participation in and awareness of public opinion we need to appeal to people from all persuasions. As such, we ask relevant questions in an unbiased manner, and our questions are written to discover opinion, not to prove a view or support an agenda. To the extent we provide supporting facts, we include all sides. We publish the results for free, personalized for the user and in context with other relevant polls and news.

The app and website are free, no ads, no remarketing, and we never sell or pass on your data. We are a public resource on public opinion.

What’s In It for You

Participants are able to contribute to a trusted source of public opinion. You also get to see the responses to polls, a valuable view into how Americans feel on a real-time basis. You can filter past polls by category or topic, and break the results along age, gender, or political affiliation dimensions for further illumination.

How to Participate

Install the app or sign up on our website to answer our polls, and invite your friends to do the same. Together we can be part of the solution.
