I think something like the above would be a great thing to have under a 
link that said, "more verbose results".  There could also be an actual 
pairwise matrix at the bottom of the "verbose results" page.

But I agree with Rob B that the average ESPN.com/Slashdot/CNN.com user will 
not want the poll unless it can display results in an extremely simple, 
bar-graph type fashion.  The (admittedly strange) approach I proposed would 
manage that.
