I don't think you are correct about that. There may be some total-fuzzing going on, but the current vote total is greater than the current upvote total. 4 p

  "Need" in the sense of "a poll vote is not an upvote, so if you want this to get lots of answers, vote it up as well as participating so it stays on the front page."

  You misunderstand: he was saying that if you're voting, you /should/ upvote, to help the poll be meaningful. You should do this because upvoting is not automatic - as you can see, some people have voted in the poll but not upvoted the post itself.

    The "meaningful" part is somewhat irrelevant due to the bias invoked by asking solely the HN demographic.
