Create a unique poll.

A choice poll is created by default with the datePoll parameter value as false.
An event poll is created if the datePoll parameter value is set to true.
A poll can be created even if you provide the mandatory parameters only. The default values for the optional parameters, if any, are then used.
All mandatory parameters are validated. Depending on the incorrect or missing data, error messages are generated. See Validations.
The response returns code 200 if the poll creation was successful else error messages are generated. See Error codes.

The operation uses basic authentication.
