I can't tell exactly where the error is, but Attribute Error means that
the machinery claims that 'PollClassProduct' is an unknown attribute.
...Sure enough, there is a typo in the Tutorial - when you reference your
product through the types tool, it needs to know the product name.  I
have updated the Tutorial, you should just have to change that reference
on the properties tab of the 'poll' type in the portal_types tool.

Thanks for the feedback,
Dave
