Comment MovableType (Score 3, Informative) 66
I use movabletype, and it has been a great blogging tool for me. Everything is controlled through templates, so it makes very easy to edit the look and content of your webpages.
In regards to comment spam, i have had some problems with it, but a great plugin that i found called mt-bayesian , which uses a bayesian algorithm to catch spam. on my blog it has worked very well, effectively stopping all the spam that i get and not limiting my users who post to me.
I have not seen any polling plugin, but i do not think it would be to hard to make one (or to find one) The other blogging system that i tried was b2evolution, an open-source php blog. my experience was that it was a lot more work than MT (not just moving files) and that it was oriented much more towards communities - it expected to deal with groups of blogs and interactions between them, unlike MT where each blog is unique. So i would recommend MovableType, but i haven't really tried all the availible options, so i don't know how much my 2c counts.
