It may be that the poll creator is removing those votes that were placed by visitors referred by PZ's site (for instance). The referring site's url is part of the packet stream and could be saved for later reference to try and sanitize the results a bit.
The site could also be resetting the numbers periodically.
The God Poll has nothing on www.polldaily.com. My favorite poll there is what is your favorite pick up line. http://www.polldaily.com/polls/2008-11-p29-best-pickup-line.aspx
