Answer:
A poll question is a closed query, posed with a number of possible answers suggested. Users of the poll select their answer and that counts as a vote towards that answer so that the popularity of each answer within the group of users might be judged.
A simple example would be, "Are you male or female?" You might expect the answers to look like this, depending on the demographics of your audience:
Male: 50%
Female: 50%
Of course if you only targeted female respondents then the response should be "Female: 100%".
