Pollfield

This module creates a CCK field that behaves like the core Poll module. Instead of creating a content type, it creates a field that can be added to any content type.

The poll questions, results, active status, total number votes and runtime are Views-enabled and can be added to any Views view.

You can read about bugs and issues of every version in its release notes.
