The trends for yesterday's poll actually turned out to be very unremarkable and not what I was expecting to see. I was expecting to see trends more closely resembling the "how often do you visit GameFAQs" poll, as seen here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14PmFnPgwYASnutdjA905NiOFiQLjl3k_gseE3lVMeCo/pub?gid=1261620550

Unfortunately, that didn't happen here. The first 2 options in yesterday's poll remained somewhat consistent over the course of the entire poll. There were still trends in this poll, but they came in the form of age-based trends and there were even some Geolocation trends as well.

It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that a poll revolving around how long you have been visiting GameFAQs would have age-based trends here. Going off what we know from the age poll, the early vote has the highest percentage of younger voters and this was clearly seen in the early vote for "More than 10 years", which had an excellent board vote and also performed very well during the Power Hour as well. The morning vote was also the worst time period for "More than 10 years", which is also the time period that has the oldest voters on average based on past age polls.

"More than 20 years" performed worst during the board vote, though its Power Hour was only slightly worse than average. With the early vote known to favor the younger voters to a greater extent than all of the other time periods, this would clearly work against "More than 20 years". This option is also affected by Geolocation trends, as it performs worst during the night vote. Looking at the Geolocation trends here, we see that "More than 20 years" is very strong in the US and Canada (both over 35%) while being extremely weak outside of the US and Canada. "More than 20 years" has less than 30% in almost every country in Europe, even the UK which is an English speaking country. Due to this option's strength base being more concentrated in the US and Canada, it ends up performing best during the late morning vote and day vote.

"More than 5 years" and "More than a year" both have similar trends in their good early vote and night vote, but they do perform worst during the second half of the poll. Geolocation trends also played a role in the strong night vote, as both options fared much better in Europe compared to the US and Canada.
