If you wish to present the results of your little poll even better, you might want to use some Charts and Graphs to make the Data more 'visible' for the readers.
Example:
Well, you see that I have some Formatting problems myself right now. It requires some work to make an agreeable presentation for the eye, but I think its worth it.
Your data pool is a little too small to make reliable prognoses, but as a qualitative analysis of our little Integral Life Blog Reservation, it can at least give some hints of what trends there are and what to look for in future polls and questionaires.
You can use Pie Charts, as the one pictured here, or Bar Charts and Histograms, or other types of Charts and Tables. I found this paper especially helpful. Maybe it can be of some benefit for you, too.
These graphs are great tools for presenting statistical Data; they help to get some color into otherwise pretty boring numbers, and help visualize the conclusions that can be drawn (if any). And it gives presentations this serious 'business' look, you know.
Give it a try if you like!

Well actually that was rather complicated. I created it with my Drawing programm, but since I'm running on Linux, I had to convert it to PDF, then re-convert it to a .gif picture, to make it fit into the Integral Life Editor. I'm sure there must be easier ways.
On this site, you can find more general info and also free software tools to create Graphics. But it should also work with Word, Excel or PowerPoint or any of the Windows Drawing Programs - just make sure that you save it in .jpg or .gif format to fit into the Blog here. It takes some time to figure out how to do it, but IMO there's a benefit to it.
Good luck!
