Ok, I see the problem now. This is why I ask, because as an Admin I don't have any limitations. Anyway, somehow the setting for members to be able to create polls had been turned off. Sometimes the RCU system gets a mind of it's own and things like this happen. Anyway, I have reset the setting and now you all should be able to see the "New Poll" button, and thus you all will be able to create polls now.
