It's disappointing that the polls will apparently only allow 2 choices (so no good way to ask about, say, the winner of a GOP presidential debate with 10+ candidates). I'd imagine that the media will love using this to get some instant feedback/reactions after things like debates or the State of the Union address.

That was my initial thought, but I just can't see having a poll with ten choices which'll end up taking a huge estate of mobile screen space be viable. Sort of conforms to their 140-character limit justification for tweets: short and simple.
Still a good way for the Twitter product.
