Found some archives of a GameSpot Poll on the front page:

First page was from January 28th and the second page was from February 2nd and the poll didn't change at all between those 2 dates. This was the poll results page for the poll you see on the above archived pages:
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/modules/poll_results.php?poll_id=115090
That poll had slightly over 13000 votes after running for like 6 days. Part of the reason for the bad vote totals was because the GameSpot Poll was located near the bottom of the front page instead of being near the top of the page. So the poll was hard to notice.
Also, the GameSpot Poll doesn't follow a consistent schedule like we are used to with the polls on GameFAQs. Our polls always change at the same exact time every day, but that isn't the case on GameSpot. I think GameSpot has to manually put up the polls and manually close the voting. And there are sometimes periods of time where there is no poll on the GameSpot front page.
