Getting radio button value and sending through ajax to php

Question

I have a poll on my website which displays radio buttons next to each answer. When the user selects an option and submits, im running a a php script via ajax to insert the v

Answer 1

$("#submit_vote").click(function(e){ 

    $.ajax( {
      type: "POST",
      url: "ajax_submit_vote.php",
      data: $('#poll_form').serialize(),
      success: function( response ) {}
    });

});

You should then have the POST variable "poll_option" accessible in your PHP script.
