Polls on mobile seem to wide causing additional horizontal scrolling

Yes, @zogstrip is aware of this and will switch to top-bottom rendering rather than left-right for polls on mobile.

Could you remove the `height` style on `.poll-container` on both desktop and mobile?

As it is now:

With `height` style removed:

Perhaps add the surrounding box in on mobile to “hold the poll” functionality together?

You’re right, I forgot to leave the borders on mobile. It’s now fixed 🐦

As for the height, it’s there to make sure the height of the poll doesn’t change between the views. I can’t reproduce your issue though.
