Hello @LoriJ19972,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear that the poll block method didn't yield the results you needed. Perhaps I can offer some insight and advice.
The poll block is directly tied into the coding of the email that tracks other information, such as opening the email, tracking who responds and how for RSVP blocks, etc. Due to this, if the email is forwarded to someone else, or if someone uses the shared email link, then the responses could be skewed.
For example, posting the email to social media is a good way to generate interest, but since we cannot track who clicked what through such a setup, the results of the poll would be anonymous (poll results would show a blank name area and unidentified in the email address area).
For your purposes, I might suggest using our survey tool and having required questions that ask for email address and names. This way, whether shared on social media or forwarded from the original recipient, the person taking the survey can still get their full information to you. Remember to turn on the ability to have multiple responses to ensure forwarded emails can also be used for sign-up!
You could also utilize a landing page sign-up form to collect such information as well.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reply to this thread or create a new one, and we'd be happy to assist.
