I voted:
I couldn't pick:
because it sound to definitive that we'll never, ever make contact with 'them'.
In my own opinion, there is sentient life out there and I hypothesise that Earth, if not the entire Solar System, is treated as a "preserve" or "natural habitat", for their safety and our own. Perhaps they've been here, under stealth (not publicly visible in UFO's) and have ascertained that we, as a species aren't ready to make contact with them. So rather then them ruin our civilisation at a time in humanity's infancy, they have cordoned off an area of space as a "no-go" area.
Then again, they may be so faraway that they haven't spotted us yet, or still again, there could be hundreds of races around us, but are forbidden from making contact.

Probably yes, but too far apart to ever meet.
Yes, but your poll is lacking. There is a huge, gaping hole between "Yes, but we're too far apart to ever meet" and "Yes, and they've visited Earth before" that needs to be filled with "Yes, and maybe in thousands of years, we may make contact." Guess I'll go with we're too far apart since I do not think they have been here.

Yes, but they are too far to meet. And the timescales involved will probably mean we will never meet. I don't believe that the human race will keep expanding and expanding. I think we will too become stagnant, and decline. Maybe not go extinct.

Probably, but too far to meet. And I don't mean in just distance. They could be so very different from what we conceive of as life that we probably wouldn't recognize them, or even notice each other...

I'm not so convinced there is intelligent life ON Earth
...
There must be intelligent life out there somewhere. I doubt they've visited our solar system though.

I know you are joking, but . . .
Maybe your baseline for defining intelligence is too high?

In between options three and four somewhere, i.e. Probably intelligent life, but I doubt that they've visited Earth before.

I voted for 'yes, but we''l never meet'. But I would have voted 'yes, and we might eventually meet' instead-if that choice existed. Why doesn't it?

I voted Yes, and they walk among us! (Astronauts excluded!). WHy not where else can they see species exploit the world for the few??
