People seem to really be going hog wild with making polls! What do you think? Do we have enough polls? Do we have too many? Maybe we even need more!
Is anyone else getting sick of all these polls? 68 votes
No, the current number of polls is fine.
We need to have less polls.
We need to have fewer polls.

There isnt.. obviously the op is not english native..
If you don't know the difference between less and fewer, then you probably shouldn't be talking smack about other people's English skills.

I am not english native. But still i know the difference between "few" and "less". And in a practical use like this poll, they have exactly the same meaning. Unless you want to start writting 1000 options like "few", "a less few", "less than a few", and so on.. i mean, seriously?.
They will settle down.
Nobody is sitting behind you forcing you to click the links, either, and if they are perhaps your romantic life is more interesting than mine...

(the correct answer was "fewer polls")
If only ppl would use said faculty of self-control to not have every other thread be a poll.
You were kind of right that they are the same (when you look at it from a literal sense of the meaning), however your idea that they are different quantities/amounts being the difference is wrong. The difference between the two words is nothing to do with differences in amounts, it's about what object you are describing, see below.
Actually the meaning of the words are he same, however the difference between them is in the usage.
The word fewer is used in reference to countable objects, for example: There are fewer M&M's in this bag.
Whereas the word less is used in reference to non-countable objects, for example: There is less water in this bottle.
Although he is wrong that they're the same from one perspective, when literal meaning is taken into account he is correct that they mean the same, because they do mean the same just in relation to different objects.
The option "we need to have less" does not belong because polls are countable objects, the "we need fewer" option is the correct one grammatically (and yes I know I clicked the less option I miss-clicked in my haste to express my hatred of polls).
