Poll result display

Title:
Poll result display

Area:
Polls

Summary:
Make 100% display width uniform between different questions in the same poll.

Description:
Now the poll results display bars where the most common response for each question is the same width for each question. If there were 3 questions each with 4 options you might get:

1 a --------------------- 100
1 b - 0
1 c - 0
1 d - 0

2 a --------------------- 25
2 b --------------------- 25
2 c --------------------- 25
2 d --------------------- 25

3 a ------- 15
3 b --------------------- 50
3 c ----------- 25
3 d ----- 10

I think it would be more visually understandable if the maximum percentage in the whole poll was used to set the display width. Like so:

1 a --------------------- 100
1 b - 0
1 c - 0
1 d - 0

2 a ------ 25
2 b ------ 25
2 c ------ 25
2 d ------ 25

3 a ---- 15
2 b ----------- 50
2 c ------ 25
2 d --- 10

It might be an option when setting up the poll if some prefer it as it is.

Sorry if this has been suggested before; I can't tell since search is down. I think it still gets my point across even with proportional fonts. My pre tags - poor pre tags.

+1 to this.

(Actually, I'd also like to see my percentage bars as their actual percentage widths for the individual question, rather than the highest percentage being 100% width, but that's an unrelated aside.)
