OK. Have you considered the moral implications of taking over their web browser (beyond presentation). Things like resizing the browser window, closing the browser, (more typically) spawning new windows, etc. all tend to be pretty annoying to various extents. Have you ever been tricked into clicking on an innocent looking link to find out it was an "adult" site? And then get annoyed at how it takes over your browser and starts doing things outside of your control? It can be a pretty harrowing experience (especially at the office) and the worst part of it is that things are happening that you don't have control over.
To offer some constructive criticism, have you considered maybe after the poll is complete forward them to a different page? Something where the user maintains controller over their browser? This sort of thing is normal behavior after completing a form, and won't alienate the people who are participating in your survey.
