Looks nice. Looking by timeline, last week it's almost 1 poll/day rate. HackerNews is going to become Daily Poll News if it's going to be like that.
Since you already parse the links, it would be awesome if you can parse the poll results and plot them somehow while still keep the comments in tact.
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.
