I recommend consulting an expert statistician to learn the best way to conduct a poll like this where the goal is to rank the results.

What you'll learn from the experts are some intriguing theorems that prove that no ranking system can have all the properties that you would want it to have. The most famous is Arrow's theorem but there are others.
