Title polls generated by the suggestions generator

Title polls generated by the suggestions generator

Summary:
Polls generated by the suggestions generator should have a title; this should be the title for the suggestion as submitted in the suggestions generator [or the first X characters, if the lengths don't match]

Description:
Because the polls generated to suggestions tend to get approved in bunches, I would like to be able to, as I see them appear on my reading page, open the polls in a new tab and vote on them all at my leisure, instead of breaking the flow of my reading by voting on the issue and hitting the back button in order to return to my reading page.

For those issues which I can decide by looking at the proposal, without needing to see the discussion in comments, my inclination is to open the poll itself, rather than the entry. (I usually go for the smallest file I can open which will give me everything I need, a habit I retain from using dial up.) However, because the text of each poll is the same, there's no way of telling which poll is voting on which suggestion, and I wind up having to open the entry anyway.

I can't think of any drawbacks to this plan, and the benefit of solving the problem as I propose to do is that it doesn't require additional human input (except for whatever rewriting of the generator that will be required.)

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 33

Hah, I just had that problem, having opened two polls in tabs, and then not remembering what they were for.

It would also be very helpful in term of inbox if you have more than one poll going!
