I have a website where there are numerous nodes of the type "Player". On each node I want to add a poll that asks the same question for each player and possible responses to this quesiton are "Yes" or "No". I then want to tabulate the results of this poll, display them on the node after user has voted and also display these results in various views. I also want to be able to sort the nodes by highest percentage "Yes/No", total "Yes/No", and total votes.

After looking at a few modules (pollfield, fivestar) I found that vote up/down might have the answer.

However, this module is not designed to show the total number of "up" votes and total number of "down" votes. It just calculates the aggregate of these votes making displaying the results and views integration a major headache. While there has been some good ideas thrown around on the issue queue for these very problems, none of the solutions seem to work very well. Plus anonymous voting with vote up/down is not working properly at all right now.

With all that said, does anyone have a good suggestion on how I should proceed? Ajax voting, display of yes/no vote totals, and views integration are priorities. Thanks for any help I'm just looking for some good leads here on how I should proceed.

just a note that fivestar doesn't have to use five stars. you can use two stars, and create your own yes / no graphics if desired as they don't have to be "stars" either. I can see where they can easily be changed to a thumbs up / thumbs down idea. Provided you don't need negative voting values

Yea, I was considering using "two stars" and then changing the image files. I might run into some problems displaying the results on each node as the module is set up to show either what the user voted or the average of all user votes (instead of vote totals). I know that can be changed it would just be a matter of figuring out how to do that.

I'll also note that the maintainers of fivestar recommend the "vote up/down" module when anyone suggests using fivestar for yes/no voting. I guess I'll need to look into the vote up/down module and getting those issues resolved.

flags is quite powerfull. not sure about the display of the results. could be done with views, filters and views count.
