Quite a few polls have been posted on Manifold lately, using comments to take votes with the market predicting the outcome. Seems like this would be a reasonably straightforward thing to natively support. As well as polling for polling's sake, a poll could be used to decide which way a market should resolve without the market creator needing to be involved, in a way that's more robust to manipulation than using the market probability.

@ScottAlexander recommended adding a site-wide polling platform in the most recent Mantic Monday, and the Manifold admins seem to really like doing what Scott asks/suggests, so I think this is more likely now.

I describe an idea for how this could work here:

predicted NO

@IsaacKing This is a great idea, but it’s different enough from what I described that it wouldn’t resolve YES.

You ask "will they?"

I ask "should they?"
