Summary/Abstract: The topic of the work is the refusal to respond to poll questionnaires as one of the key methodological problems in the realization of opinion polis and questionnaire-based social research in general. In addition to a survey of data on rejecting polis in Croatia and abroad, the paper describes some of the perceived characteristics of persons unwilling to participate in such questionnaires, designates probable reasons for rejection and their possible impact on the validity of research results and also depicts some attempts at overcoming this important methodological problem.
