A few people talking in a thread is not IMO a way to come to a consensus. If you don't like the poll's Please tell me a better way to come to a consensus?

This is also the only way we can seem to show support as a community and get visibility to our ideas through the community. Until I see a better way, you can look forward to my polls.

If a person has an idea about a change how should it be presented? IF I run a poll and see like this, (as of now, not overwhelming support or an idea) then OK, I thought it was a good idea, perhaps I am wrong. I can deal with that. IF however I run a poll say to show support for a dark theme option and the overwhelming support agrees that they also think its a good idea, the people get excited, involved, become more vocal, when they see that others support the idea, and in general the community leaders may not.

These are all good things aren't they??
