    In Yahoo answers it isn't very specific but this is in general

    Poll - generally a one-question quick survey that respondents can answer with one mouse click. Polls are often embedded directly into web pages and respondents are usually shown summary results upon answering. (Pretty much multi-choice questions.)

    Surveys - comprehensive forms that may include many types of questions and format types that are designed to extract information from the user in the most efficient way possible. Surveys usually have more than one question and consist of open-ended questions.
