Went several times to link, can not find the poll!!!!

Still can not find or see the poll???

Tried linking again for the 10th time. This time I input the address directly into the browser. No luck. Giving up for now.

I can't see the poll either.

I can't see it either. I tried both browsers, typing it in, the shorter link, plus a couple of web proxies....no poll for me.
