You're smarter than this site looks. Good luck.
Allow anonymous poll response but keep separate results tables for anon / logged in / everyone.
How are the follow-up steps created? If it's just some googly thing it won't be that compelling.
Homepage is extremely cluttered in a bad way for first-timers; this isn't always a big deal but it's good to be aware of.
Consider organizing it s.t. eg Olympia Snowe could have an official "polls" channel for polling her constituents; impact of poll results is more credible that way.
Have a "clone this poll" feature and follow-up / "poll response"; if some user dislikes a poll's phrasing or options they ought to be easily able to clone a poll and tweak it....keeping around that metadata so that people taking either poll can see other related polls. Similarly with response polls -- some way to post a counter-poll. Good for user engagement.
Settle on if your sideboxes have rounded or square corners plz.
