Simply Poll
Simply, it adds polling functionality to your WordPress site
Creating polls is now easy! With this plugin you can easily create a poll, add it to a page or post and users can instantly vote. Allows the creation of unlimited polls with up to 10 answers each. Theming is also possible by altering the files in view/client (though hope to improve theming greatly in future updates).

I have an issue with Simply Poll plugin, where do I go to report the issue?
There are a number of places, the most popular being on the WordPress.org forum, you can also report an issue on Github page or contact myself directly.
I'm also having issues with Simply Poll but would like to solve it myself, is there an easy way to debug?
Sure is; go into the config.php file at the root of the Simply Poll plugin folder and changed the value of SP_DEBUG to true. This will log all background interactions to the log file in the root of Simply Poll plugin folder. This is done using the Logger class.
Is there a bleeding edge version of Simply Poll?
Yes there is! It's on Github.
Roadmap
- Add export/import options
- Make the admin more "WordPress", or at least better looking!
- Remove limitation on poll numbers and not have the default as 10
- Add options to change strings "Vote" and "Total Votes"
- Make theming easier
