Poll taking

I have started a bit of research and what would attract my marketing audience. I am trying to find out the style of music people commonly listen to. This will give me an idea of the kind of music they are into.

I've created a poll on the right side of my blog. I then sent an email to some of the people in my year asking if  they can vote.

So far I've gotten 3 votes and it seems that R&B is the most popular as for now but that's only between 3 people who have chosen their preference. From this I can gather ideas for my Music Magazine. I think that by creating a poll I can find out the direct information I need. It's a straight forward question with many choices to pick from
