Advanced Poll provides you with a host of powerful options that go beyond the abilities of the built in poll that ships with Drupal core. Here's what this set of modules has to offer:

  1. Native Drupal ajax updating of voting results - no need for a page refresh.
  2. A base CCK content type that can be modified to fit your needs. Need an image field or a footer message? No problem, just add them to the content type.
  3. The ability to set any poll to generate a block.
  4. The ability to allow more than one user choice. This is particularly handy for allowing users to rate a list of options.
  5. An electoral list can be defined for each poll.
  6. Set a date range for availability.
  7. Three voting modes - normal (standard Voting API behavior), cookie tracking, or unlimited voting.
  8. A variety of options for when and how to display voting results.
  9. Up to four voting behaviors when Advanced Ranking Poll is enabled.
  10. A converter module that can make your existing core Drupal polls into Advanced Polls.
