1 poll: A "poll" is a survey or measurement of opinions on a specific subject taken from a group (also called a "sample") of people. Sometimes the sample is random or arbitrary, and sometimes it is targeted towards a specific group (male teenagers who use the Internet, or female smokers with one ear, for example). We often find the results of a poll just before a general election.
2 voting age: "Voting age" refers to the age at which people are legally permitted to vote (or participate) in public elections. For example, the voting age in the United States and Great Britain is 18, meaning that once you are 18 years old, you are legally allowed to vote. Moira reports on "Americans of voting age" who disapprove of current US President Tom Shrub's policies.
3 politics: "Politics" are the activities associated with the governing of a certain country or area. When Brent says "we turn our attention to politics", he means that he and Moira will be discussing matters of government and politics.
