I was thinking it might also be neat if you could show poll results based on a time interval (assuming that you are regularly spidering) so one could see how poll results change over time, instead of having to create a new poll.
One drawback to doing this, though, is that the people sampled who vote later via this website may be different than those who would vote when it is resubmitted on the Hacker News front page. Also, it require a reasonable amount of extra work and is more difficult to display.
