It really is a pretty bad poll interface, eh. I tried introducing radio buttons, to facilitate the process, but they were summarily exterminated. I still think they were a good idea (for these kinds of simple yes/no polls, to avoid people writing things like "yeah" and "y" etc) -- maybe with an added text field (with radio button) for a differing poll answer.
At the very least, a small instructory sentence should be placed below each poll. Something like: "Reply directly to this story, and the subject of your message (if any) will automatically be entered into this poll."
-1 for Joseph.
