As I meant to suggest via the link in my last post, you can use database normalization techniques to brainstorm the most robust design for your database. I suggest you do some research on the subject.

As for your poll example, my solution would be: Create a users table (userid, username, etc.). Create a new table users_to_polls to associate each user with each poll they vote in (u2pid, userid, pollid, response). Create a new table for each poll (pollid, question, etc.).
