I guess I didn't have a jQuery problem. I've deactived my plugins, one a time, and have found that the conficting plugin is wpeventplanner (http://www.wpeventsplanner.com/). When the event planner is deactivated, the SAVE button works correctly, otherwise, it does nothing.
This may not be a problem with your poll plugin and I appreciate your efforts to fix it.
Since event management is my more pressing need, I will work with what I have.
Thanks, again,
Don
