I can see the information about the poll, and a link to view the results, without logging in.
(second paragraph there). That paragraph tells you that you need to log in to vote in the poll.
I don't want to create a PyPI account (more account details I'll rarely use to remember) just to vote. I can see why anonymous votes are bad, but the sample's going to be self-selecting - people like me who don't want to create an account will be excluded.
This is indeed intentional: people like you won't upload packages to PyPI, nor will they take part in the rating system, as both require a PyPI account.
Which is bizarre, since Paul belongs to the group of people you say you care most about - i.e., those people browsing the index and looking for packages. The *consumers* of the comments, in other words.
