The typical polling user interface includes some question text, like "What is your favorite programming language?", along with a series of radio buttons listing possible answers, like "C#", "Visual Basic", "Pascal", and so forth. The visitor can select an answer and then cast his vote. After voting, the interface changes to show the current voting breakdown per answer, as the screen shots below illustrate.
