Please, read my comments to the question.
I'd suggest to change your queries into single one:
var qry = from pq in db.pollquestions.Where(x=>x.IsCurrent==true)
join po in db.pollOptions on pq.PollID equals po.PollID
group po by po.PollID into grp
select new
{
PollID = grp.Key,
Question = grp.pq.QuestionText,
SumVotes = grp.Sum(p=>p.Votes)
};
