1. A live event polling system comprising:
a private and secure back-end live event polling server;
a live event query database that is configured to store data formulations of queries associated with live events;
a live event query response and analytics database that is configured to store query response data associated with particular queries for particular live events and analytics data based on analyses of the query response data;
a cloud-based web service that is hosted by the private and secure back-end live event polling server and is configured to (i) provide micro-polling services for live in-person events, (ii) provide micro-polling services and streaming services for live streaming events, (iii) publish queries created for live events, (iv) collect query response data in connection with the published queries, and (v) store the query response data in the live event query response and analytics database;
a platform dashboard that is accessible to registered users through the cloud-based web service and is configured to enable registered users to make profile selections, join live events, and host live events; and
a user device operated by a particular user, wherein the user device is configured to run a live event polling application that accesses the cloud-based web service when the user device establishes a network connection to the private and secure back-end live event polling server, wherein the live event polling application is configured to visually output an end-user dashboard through which the particular user can search for and join a particular live streaming event streamed by the cloud-based web service, wherein the live event polling application is further configured to visually output the platform dashboard through which the particular user can select from a plurality of live event options comprising (i) a join event option which, when selected by the particular user, runs a join event script for the particular user to join live events and (ii) a host live event option which, when selected by the particular, runs a host event script for the particular user to create and host a user-hosted live streaming event streamed by the cloud-based web service to a plurality of participant devices operated by a plurality of other event participants, wherein the platform dashboard is further configured for creation of host queries by the particular user after the user-hosted live streaming event is created, wherein host queries poll the plurality of other event participants for sentiment responses, wherein the particular user creates and embeds a particular host query in the user-hosted live streaming event.
