Deliberative opinion poll

A deliberative opinion poll is a special kind of poll that involves a group of people discussing an issue and then deciding together how they feel about it. The goal is to get more thoughtful and considered views than you would with a normal opinion poll. The group might talk about different sides of the issue and go through all the facts before making up their minds as a group. When it's all done, everyone in the group says what they think and then everyone's opinion gets added up to show what the group thinks overall.
