G'day, Rick 
Let's see if we can demystify some of the myths and urban legends about the Kunena polling feature.
In no particular order:
1) Some very basic - one might even describe it as primitive - documentation exists at How to set up polls in Kunena and upgrade from the hack . That may not be a lot of help to you and you may find better information if you try searching the forum for anything more specific or more up-to-date,
2) Setting the max options to 10 permits you to have up to 10 muliple-choice answers per question (not a maximum of 10 questions per topic). You can only have one poll question per topic. The poll can only be created when you create a new topic.
3) Multiple selection from the available answers are not possible (in case you were wondering). If you have a question with one, two or up to 10 possible answers, people can select any one answer (or not select anything, if they choose).
4) I am unaware of a third-party Joomla extension that allows you to run a poll within Kunena. There are plenty of polling extensions for Joomla. It may be possible to run the kinds of polls you're thinking of running within, say, the context of a Joomla article. Using the Kunena Discuss plugin you could feed the contents of a Joomla article into your Kunena forum where people could discuss the results of the poll - if that's what you want - but you understand, of course, that anything further I might suggest would be wild speculation on my part.

Thank you Sozzled! A very comprehensible response and sadly... very disappointing 
My fault however, I will have to reign in these wild assumptions :woohoo:
So I guess I can try some polling extensions for Joomla. My objective is to loose survey Monkey and find something that writes to the MySQL DB. Given time I bet I will find one.
Thanks Again!!

No problems. I will assume this resolves the matter for the time being.
