So I think it would be a useful tool!

This was almost exactly my thinking.
And, I think there are some "lurkers" who don't post a lot of commentary, but who might respond more readily to a poll.

I said 'least' because I prefer the way we do it now, as a discussion, rather than an unexplained vote. I see no need to create a polling feature. People already poll the members in a thread where they ask their question.

I wonder how the polls would be used or if they would be used to soft sell items or tutorials.

I don't see a need. However, I'm open to considering it.

I don't like answering polls, so I wouldn't be interested in creating one either.

I think members are already posting when they are looking for feedback or ideas...and I enjoy reading their comments and responses. Looking at the Poll given in this thread, I don’t see any room for a typed response only a vote so I’m not sure I would use it.

I wouldn't be interested in creating one, but I would respond to one asking for opinions on a particular border or layout. When I ask for design help, though, I like the comments from people because they force me to think outside the box and consider options I didn't know existed.
