Predicate poll:

Frames file for 'poll' based on sentences in financial subcorpus and automatic expansion via verbnet. Well, not actually, b/c Levin includes this in the 'pit' class which doesn't make any sense to me. Comparison with 'question' instead. Note that args 1 and 2 have been reversed from 'question'
