Private definitely has its place, but in general I prefer public.

It depends entirely on the poll; there are some that I wouldn't answer if it were public, but others where anonymity has no real value.

this is exactly how I feel. I have definitely skipped over some polls because I didn't feel comfortable answering them because they were public. Others I don't care as much about

Exactly. I totally agree. Some polls I'll just skip over because I don't want my preference to be seen. But most of them, it really doesn't matter.

It depends on the poll for me as others have said to some really aren't that big of a deal being public but there are others that I wont answer because they aren't private

It depends on the topic. Most of the time I don't mind my answers being public though, and it can be interesting to see who picked what.

Public, because if I had a problem with the question, or it's something I don't want my name attaced too. I just won't answer it.

It depends on the topic, so when in doubt, private is better.

Depends on the topic- for sensitive subjects then I prefer private. I don't need everybody up in my chili

I voted for public, but it doesn't really matter to me one way or the other.

I think it depends on the type of poll. I dont mind answering most of the public polls.

Some questions deserve private answers but for the most part I like public.

I generally prefer public, but I understand why it's better to make some polls private.

I prefer private, but also depends on the question. Sometimes people won't answer honestly if they know their answer is going to be seen by everyone, and will then go with the norm and vote the same way everyone else is (instead of by their own opinion).

I prefer private polls, I think it encourages people to vote honestly. For those that don't mind sharing their opinions, there is always the comments area.

It really depends on the poll. It would be cool to have an option where you could show your name if you want or not on ANY poll.

I agree.

If it's super personal or there might be a chance I'll select the controversial answer, I would like my response to be known only to me.

For example, questions about if you've cheated or have wanted to cheat. Sometimes it's nice to be able to be honest without worrying about a future or current significant other becoming upset if they happen to see your response.

While I prefer private, it's like a 55 vs 45 preference. It's usually no big deal to me if people know my answers or not.
