Here's how it works:
Create a new spreadsheet, build your survey form, and invite users to fill out the form. You can send out an email to people you'd like to fill out the survey (maybe to a mailing list you have), or generate some HTML code that allows you to embed the survey directly on your web page.
Your visitors won't need to sign in to Google Docs to fill out the form. Responses are automatically added to your spreadsheet, and you can receive notifications by email when submissions occur. You can even keep a closer eye on responses by adding the Google Docs forms gadget to your iGoogle homepage.
Finally, in your spreadsheet, you can create graphs and charts showing the results, and then publish those charts back on your site as gadgets. As the responses trickle in, the published charts will update automatically.
Check out the Google Docs Help Center for more detailed instructions on how to create your own live survey. I hope you'll be better able to get feedback from visitors to your site using this tool.

Is it somehow related to AdSense?
Hopefully this works better than Blogger polls. There is annoying back button issue with all versions of IE that still hasn't been fixed:

talking of surveys.. who are winners of ipod touchs for the survey conducted by adsense?
This cerainly seems intriguing.
I must check it out I think.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Very nice idea! I will try this one soon to get feedback from my readers what type of articles they want to read more in my blog. Thanks for this information.
We are going to have to take a better look at this.
Thank you.

That is a cool tool. Thanks!
Hi Freelancer,
While this new Google Docs feature isn't directly tied to your AdSense account, we hope you'll find the feedback from your users useful in improving the design and content of sites where you're displaying AdSense ad units.

Thanks for this post.Is very useful for my blog.
This is absolutely fantastic!!! What a great addition to the Google Docs Suite!
Please continue to build out the help section for this tool, especially for publishing the results on a site for real-time feedback!
One additional feature that is almost a requirement is the ability to limit responses, i.e., "One response per user". This could be done by unique IP and/or by cookied user
fantastic... will add to my blog
Hey can we create invoices or bills using Google Docs? How Superb will this be!
Thanks - it looks great. Have set up my first newsletter survey form.
Just one thing - it would be good to be able to change the "from" email address (ie to my company one).
Is this possible?
This looks nice...
