An alternate solution has occurred to me: While neither of Wikia's built-in polls can do what you're asking, there are external polls which do what you're asking, and many external polls allow embedding.

See Help:Verbatim for more info regarding verbatim tags,
 * 1) Find a poll site that you like, and create your poll there.
 * 2) Use the "embed HTML in my site" option and get the source of the poll
 * 3) As an admin, create a wiki page named Mediawiki:MyPoll123, and paste the source of the poll there.
 * 4) On the page where you want to display the poll, add:  MyPoll123 

There are pros and cons to doing this, most notably that different poll sites use different methods to prevent people voting multiple times, and not all of them are very good at it.
