A poll is question that is asked but you provide a set of answers that they can choose from, a survey is a question that you ask with open answers and they provide you information based on what they think the answer should be. So poll - select from a series of answers
Survey - you provide the answer and explain why you think that is the correct answer.

I hope this will make it clear for you.
A poll is as one-time, simple and quick question where users can usually respond with one mouse click. Sports and news sites are good examples that displays polls on their main pages. Surveys or questionnaires are more comprehensive forms that may include many types of questions and format types that are designed to extract information from the user in the most efficient way possible. The survey may have conditional or branching logic embedded where answering a question a certain way may lead to another set of questions specific to that answer. Surveys can be one or two questions, or as many as 100 questions, it is entirely up to the discretion of the administrator/creator.

Polls are usually restricted to yes/no, true/false, accept/reject questions concerning objective data like people, TV shows and other products looking for a winner. Surveys are more about why people choose what they choose and explaining why they have chosen to do what they have, but the survey and surveyor are restricted to rules intended to establish scientific credibility while polls simple ask for present preference of one thing over an other, perhaps for more than one item e.g. what are you most likely to vote this election, liberal, conservative, socialist or communist or rhinoceros

A poll is having options and you having to choose one, and a survey is a question that you ask many people and you listen to their opinion. Hope that helped =]

A poll is asking "which one".
A survey is more open, asking practically anything or asking for opinions. With or without multiple choice.
The definition of POLL below says it can be a survey, too.

A poll gives you a few choices and you pick one of those choices....A survey asks for your opinion about a topic, etc.
