Polls = Petitions??

Hi there,

I saw in voices (http://stackideas.com/voices/item/67) that polls was accepted and will be included in 1.4. My question is not really about when will it be out but slightly different. My sire required 'petitions' where people can raise issues that they are concerned about and get other users in the community to vote in favour of it. I am just wondering if that is the same as polls? If it is, then I am happy to wait. If not, I can look for a different plugin.



Thanks in advance!
