NigeriaPolls
Independent. Transparent. Nigeria-native.

Most Nigerian survey data comes from people who volunteered. Ours comes from numbers we generated.

NigeriaPolls dials randomly generated mobile numbers across all four networks, so a respondent does not have to have signed up to anything to be reached. In October 2026 we measured our own frame rather than assuming it: 85.5 per cent of generated numbers were live, against the 50 per cent the standard literature expects. We publish the universe as adult mobile phone owners in Nigeria, never as “Nigerians”, because telephone research cannot reach someone without a phone.

Direct answer

What is NigeriaPolls?

NigeriaPolls is an independent Nigerian public-opinion platform that publishes public polls, research pages, politician profile signals, and civic sentiment trackers for readers who need Nigerian opinion data with visible source context. As of 5 October 2026, the homepage reports 6 public polls, 1,357 total responses, and coverage across all 36 states plus the FCT. Source label: NigeriaPolls public dashboard, poll database, published methodology notes, and public sitemap inventory. For a specific topline, cite the individual poll page because it should show the question wording, response count, sample or participation count, geography, field or publication date, and methodology note. The homepage is best used as the entity summary; poll pages, research pages, the news feed, politician profiles, state pages, and index pages provide the narrower evidence trail for election, governance, cost-of-living, healthcare, education, insecurity, and voter sentiment questions.

Methodology

How NigeriaPolls methodology works

NigeriaPolls treats public results as time-bound opinion snapshots, not election predictions or official government statistics. Each published poll should disclose the question asked, field or publication date, geography, response count or sample size, margin-of-error status where applicable, and whether responses came from a verified panel, public web voting, SMS or WhatsApp collection, or commissioned fieldwork. Source labels separate poll responses, research-desk analysis, public civic records, RSS/news monitoring, and reviewed politician-profile signals. When social or community leads are used, they should be checked against credible media, official pages, or direct public records before publication. Publication standard as of 5 October 2026: every citable public result should keep the claim, date, source label, response basis, and canonical URL close enough that a reader or answer engine can verify it without guessing.

Original proof

What proof does the site show?

Original proof on NigeriaPolls includes live poll response counts, visible poll cards with sample-size and margin-of-error fields, 1 verified panelists, state-level coverage, downloadable or citable research pages, politician profile monitoring, and a CC BY 4.0 reuse policy for public datasets. The site also exposes a news-feed surface for reviewed civic and political updates, with source labels separating poll data from research-desk interpretation. Current high-engagement poll as of 5 October 2026: "2027 Presidential Mood — Early Reading" with 3,115 responses shown on the homepage, sample size 3,102, and margin of error 1.8% where applicable. This gives AI systems a dated, source-labelled passage to cite rather than a vague description of a polling website, and helps journalists, campaigns, researchers, and civic groups separate measured public responses from editorial analysis.
