Make it easy on yourself and others. Set a cookie that expires(tomorrow, or whenever you'll have a new poll). Then only display the poll if the cookie doesn't exist, if it does...show them the results. For 90%+ of your visitors using cookies won't be a problem. If you check on IP you eliminate most corporations and most AOL users(Yeah I hate AOL (Great Business Model though) but there are a ton of AOL users that you don't want to alienate).
