Nice! I think you got horizontal and vertical mixed up.

Any chance that you're storing snapshots of the results? Since HN polls apparently do not close, it might be interesting to watch things change over time.

Would it be possible to make a grid of all the polls and their results? Simply scaling images of the charts might suffice. I generally like to avoid browsing around whenever possible.

i think the update link on the status line can be use to get poll result at the moment

I keep getting this error when trying to add a poll:

The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

something is wrong there, isn't it? http://hackerpolls.heroku.com/polls/4 (I mean, the %)

That first percentage is for the general population. The original poster included them with the option names

Oh. Pretty awesome then! :)
