Okay, I looked into ALL of the available options per user permissions, poll permissions, thread options and so forth...I found that all the settings are correct which tells me that there is a bug in the vBulletin script/code base....I will coordinate with the other admins to resolve this issue....
I appreciate all of your patience, we will work this out shortly...
Apparently, this is the first time a poll has been used on this site, so there are some bugs to work out....
