The poll a cell was bound to is kept in a field that is never cleared, so once a cell had shown a poll, every message it was later reused for had that poll question and type appended to what a screen reader reads, even though the message itself has nothing to do with it. Only report the poll when the message being read is a poll.

Summary
In a chat that contains a poll, screen readers read the question and type of that poll on unrelated messages, at the start or the end of their own text.
The poll a cell was bound to is kept in a field that is never cleared. Once a cell has shown a poll, every message that cell is later reused for still has that poll appended to what is read, while the message is drawn correctly.
Only report the poll when the message being read is a poll itself.
