  Example poll: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41045565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41045565 Polls are rarely used, many one very few days and most have only few responses. They almost never make it to the frontpage. I'm surprised HN still offers them. (I don't have detailed knowledge about the API data structure).

    Oh, I see. One word is that the Polls is a topic with some fixed options item providing users to chose. Being One of HN item type. To Poll of HN, may be that database table is legacy feature designing.
