Get rid of the question ranking. I see that number first and it looks like hardly anyone answered, whereas the actual # of people who answered (which might be hundreds) is displayed in a less prominent position. Rank by popularity or growth in popularity (1st derivative of # of answers).

The graphic presentation is great. The stats side is poor; for example if I look at a question about the big boxing match tonight, opinion is divided but in my neighborhood it's 100% for one boxer. Unusual...but I looka t a few other countries where this fight is not a big deal and many answers are 100%, so my conclusion is only 1 or 2 people form those places answered the survey.

Mae it embeddable as well as shareable. Set up rolling questions about things like economic sentiment and update them cyclically, eg every month, then graph changes over time. OK your polls are unscientific so that won't mean much, but you might as well start somewhere, and you could expand into scientific polling later.

It's a neat site but I think the traction should come from making it handy for other providers like bloggers and so on. Just browsing people's opinions on random topics isn't that interesting to me.
