at the exact pole, 0 mph, 0kmh, 0 meters per mile. ah screw it. 0. at the central axis of the planet there is no speed. lets say you move outside of the central axis about 3 feet. 3 feet from the central axis you have a diamiter of 9.42 feet. given that and no high school dipoma, you are moving 9.42 feet per day.

The poles spin at the dizzying speed of 1 revolution per day.

Many answers already said zero, assuming by speed you meant the rotational speed and by poles you meant the points defining the rotational axis.
I should also add that the Earth also moves around the sun, so there is some speed component from that as well.

Pole related.

Zero

by definition, the speed of rotation on the central axis of rotation is zero. speed=angularspeed*radis, at the poles the radius is zero so speed is zero.

0 mph at the pole.
Edit.
Found the site below it explains it better than me.
Hope this helps. :-)

I'm surprised you had to ask the question...isn't it obvious?

which pole?
magnetic or rotational?
