What would be the best way to gauge that?
My naive take on this would be to have poll questions like:
> Are you in favor of consumers' right to repair? ...How strong is your position? (1–5)
Of course this is vulnerable to strategic answering, where people just slam on ‘5’ for each question. Like how star ratings are inflated on Amazon.
My next strategy would be pairwise contests. So:
> Alice supports right-to-repair (RTR) and raising property taxes. Bob is opposed to RTR and wants to lower property taxes. Who would you vote for?
> Carol supports RTR and applying the death penalty to a wider range of felonies. David opposes RTR and wants to eliminate capital punishment altogether. Who would you vote for?
But too much of that and you'd start to lose people. How many questions can you pose before you're only getting answers from serial poll-takers?
