My problem with your poll is that I dont keep track of how much potassium I eat. I think a lot of people may not keep track either.

I only took about half of that recommended potassium and felt great afterwards yesterday.
I had two bananas, two baked potatoes, beans and oat cereal

I get my vitamins and minerals tested every 6 months and only add supplements as needed

I’m gonna start eating more potassium foods. I bought a bunch of bananas today, peeled all 4 of them, but they were all rotten and bruised inside. So I binned them. Tomorrow I’ll get more from a different place.

It’s interesting about potassium, thanks for posting.
