To avoid getting the blanks lines, set up the poll in Source mode. If you do it in Visual mode, you'll get those blank lines which the poll will treat as additional options, because single spacing in Visual mode is usually double spacing in Source. You probably don't want to correct it now, though, because I think you'd lose the existing vote totals.
