I think it's safe to assume if they didn't respond they do not love responding to surveys.

It's almost like that's the joke presented in comic form.

Yeah, that's the real answer. 500 responses vs how many sent out

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Maybe. But if there were 10000 sent and 500 responses, that still isn't enough information. You would need to know how many were even handled and perceived by the intended recipient.

But maybe you can work around this by canvasing in person rather than fire and forget.

Also there's at least a small set of respondents with fat fingers.
