Lily Ray posted a Twitter poll asking the SEO industry if they think the core web vitals, or I guess the upcoming Google Page Experience Update, will have an "discernable impact" on your Google organic rankings. As expected, the results are somewhat all over the place, but weighted a bit more on the side of it not having a big impact.
She asked "How much of a discernable impact do you think Core Web Vitals will have on organic rankings?" The poll received 1,133 votes and the responses were:
- 17.8% - A major impact
- 48.2% - Somewhat of an impact
- 34% - Not a big impact
Here is a chart I made of the results:

I would have personally voted for "Not a big impact."
I am surprised anyone would think it would be a major impact but who knows, maybe Google will surprise us with this update.
