I think it would be better to accompany each release of QGIS with a new
poll. This has a few advantages :

* users who already took the survey will re-post if it is presented as a
new survey, but not if it is considered the same
* it is easier to analyze answers if they are made in a short time
frame. Otherwise you will compare things from different times, with
different contexts (and qgis versions)
* Different times and different contexts will lead to different
questions being interesting to poll. You cannot change questions on a
permanent poll, or it gets a real mess
* On a general marketing point of view, is it easier to publicize a
"new" thing than a "reborn" one. Having a new (versionned) poll per
release, and inviting downloaders to take the poll would probably be
efficient in terms of participation
