I’d like to know the difference between polling and poll as a noun.
A sentence below:
I want to thank you for looking over our polling.
Is it okay to use poll instead of polling in that sentence?
Thank you!!!
You could in this sentence but it would mean something slightly different. Polling refers to conducting a poll as an ongoing process. Polling here is referring to polling “data” as in the information that has been collected from an ongoing poll. So it is essentially saying “I want to thank you for looking over the information that has been collected in the poll that we are conducting”

“Polling” is the process. (Can you examine our method of collecting data?)
“Poll” is the result. (Can you examine the result?)
