 * If I select “Expired” or “Started” or “Not Started” filter in “All polls” list,
   there is a WordPress database error:
 * > [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to
   > your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘= ‘2013-07-30 17:
   > 48:51’ AND ( `name` like ‘%%’ OR `question` like ‘%%’ ) OR’ at line 1]
   >  SELECT*
   > FROM luzwp_yop_polls WHERE `end_date` <= ‘2013-07-30 17:48:51’ AND ( `name`
   > like ‘%%’ OR `question` like ‘%%’ ) ORDER BY name
 * I see there is a SQL query containing
 * > like ‘%%’
 *  which is very probably wrong.
 * I am using latest (4.2) version on WP 3.5.1
 * If this is a bug, are you going to patch it?
    Thanks
