Poll updates and trend charts for yesterday's poll:

I also got around to adding the poll updates and trend charts from the 2015 and 2016 polls as well, though I'll only discuss the trends from yesterday's poll.

"In the morning" performs best during the morning vote, as expected. The Power Hour and night vote were both around average, while the ASV was a little bit below average and the SNV was terrible.

"In the middle of the day" has the most consistent trends overall out of all the options here.

"In the afternoon" has fairly stable trends over the course of the entire poll, although it does perform best during the morning vote and still has a slightly above average Power Hour and night vote. The ASV and SNV were below average.

"In the evening" has a terrible board vote, while the Power Hour and night vote were also bad as well. It performs best during the early morning vote which was highly unexpected here. It also has a very good ASV, although it does drop off hard during the final hour of the poll (similar to the Power Hour numbers).

"Late at night" actually does perform best at night, which includes the board vote/Power Hour, night vote, and SNV. It performs worst during the morning vote and ASV.

"Overnight" performs best during the Power Hour and night vote, although the SNV does not mirror the FNV here. It has a terrible morning vote and a slightly below average ASV/SNV.

Besides the trends in this poll, I also went back and looked at how the results have changed over the past history of the earlier re-runs of this poll. Since the options have remained completely unchanged from the original poll back in 2010, it's very easy to compare the polls without any concern over the wording of the options affecting the results.

Vote percentage history for the options in this poll:

In the morning - 5.58%, 3.97%, 4.27%, 4.41%, 4.76%
In the middle of the day - 5.93%, 4.19%, 4.34%, 4.12%, 4.11%
In the afternoon - 14.03%, 13.98%, 11.40%, 10.84%, 10.54%
In the evening - 37.92%, 43.75%, 47.71%, 49.83%, 51.52%
Late at night - 23.46%, 23.73%, 24.24%, 23.64%, 23.09%
Overnight - 13.07%, 10.38%, 8.05%, 7.16%, 5.98%

The biggest change has been the "In the evening" option, which has gained more than 13% over the history of this poll. Back in 2010, our gaming time was less concentrated on one specific part of the day and much more spread out over the course of the entire day. As we've gotten much older since 2010, a lot more people on this site have full-time jobs and have less time to play video games during the hours that are most associated with a normal working hours "Overnight" has also taken a very serious decline as those hours have to be set aside for sleep now that a larger percentage of this site has a full-time job.

"Late at night" is the most unaffected option over the history of this poll, while "In the morning" and "In the middle of the day" have remained fairly stable since the 2012 poll. "In the afternoon" has fallen off slightly, but not by a huge amount.

I submitted a feedback ticket earlier so I will wait before doing anything else.
