Do you think it’s like the name Polly without the y?
No. It’s pole.

Pole. Remember the 'pole tax riots? Not the 'poll' tax riots.

I say dole for doll too.

Roll, roll, doll, poll are all the same pronunciation to me.

I don't think it's pole, but poll. Different 'o' sound. You might say 'pole' as in polling station, but the poll of your head is pronounced differently. More like Polly without the y as a pp said.

I say Pole.

If it's pronounced Poll as in troll is it also a polling station? I'd say pole-ing station too.
