The key is the sentence above that snippet on that page:
"Given the context variable poll"
'poll' is a variable passed into the template context. If you called
that variable 'a_poll', you could've done:
<h1>{{a_poll.question}}</h1>
As for choice, notice the line:
{% for choice in poll.choice_set.all %}
It's populating the choice variable with the items in choice_set.
