Create a Poll and Poll Answer Options

Some users have requested an example call for creating a poll using the REST API. The below call creates a survey object with type=poll.

When creating a survey object with type=poll the polloptions array is required. In the below call we specified 2 answer options like so: &polloptions[0]=option 1&polloptions[1]=option 2.

In addition, we specified the theme=9405 which is the poll theme. Finally, with the optional parameter polltype, e.g. radio, image or ranking, can be specified.
