Depends what you mean by "polling" and at what level of the life of a draft. I would strongly suggest you read through the Tao of the IETF, which you can find here: https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tao/ There is also plenty of good education material. For example: https://www.ietf.org/slides/slides-edu-document-lifecycle-02.pdf To really understand the process it is necessary to participate in working groups. I hope you did this already.

This is a regular misunderstanding of how the process works. The IETF consists of many individuals who decide by themselves what they want to spend their time on and consequently what specifications they are willing to review. It is a volunteer process. If I submit a draft and nobody is interested in then it will not get reviewed. Documents that do not fit into current working group charters or documents that do not get receive enough interest are not likely to make it on the agenda of a WG f2f/online meeting. No interest implies no adoption by a working group. Therefore, those who submit drafts need to demonstrate to others that they should care. You seem to be believe that there is an obligation by others to care about your work.
