I searched but couldn't find this specific suggestion, aside from an "inline" poll suggestion from 2012 ("polls in posts") which is similar, but not quite the same.
In essence, rather than have a poll be a thread type, the poll should be an option to use with discussions, articles or even question threads. An option to display the poll at the top or bottom of the article, first thread post, etc. would be helpful, although a poll at the bottom of an article makes more sense, as there are many news sites and blogs that include a poll at the end of the article to start a discussion in the comments.
I've seen it asked around here if there was a way to include a poll with an article, so the idea is not an unpopular one.
In my specific case, I have polls in old threads, made years if not more than a decade prior to XF 2.2. I want convert certain threads into the Article thread type to maintain a common style in the forum, but that would wipe out years of polling.
