 * Within the plugin, I have given editors the rights to manage polls. However, 
   when trying to create a new poll, the message appears: “low capability to add/
   edit poll.”
   How can I resolve this issue?

 * It looks like there is a manage_options capability?

 * this is only for Admins by default. This is not what I want to give my editors.
