I've seen this oft repeated, but never backed up. The only poll I've seen results from[0] was overwhelmingly to stay shutdown indefinitely.
On top of that, you're probably going to be getting into sampling bias with larger subs, since most users that care are purposefully avoiding the site trying to "starve" them and wouldn't even know about the polls.

- tamirzb 3y agoI'm a frequent visitor of /r/soccer. The only poll they did[0] had a staggering 88% in favor of the blackout, with 80% in favor of keeping the sub private as long as it takes for reddit to change their mind. I would be surprised if other polls had such different results, as I'm not sure what would make the /r/soccer community so drastically different from the rest of reddit.
