Example:

<!-- Do NOT make any edits between the poll tags unless absolutely necessary -->
<poll>

A Likert scale, where you make a statement that users can select a response to, is also easily implementable:

<poll> All things considered, cheese is good. Strongly disagree Somewhat disagree Neither agree nor disagree Somewhat agree Strongly agree </poll>

For a survey with open-ended responses, just create a survey page where each question has a separate section, and ask users to add their comments below the appropriate question.
