The semantics aren't really important for a poll like this. It's not as if our characters are ICly voting themselves. Everyone knows what the terms refer to, and that's all that really matters.
Also, having played the game since its first pre-launch, I can say with certainty that there are plenty of references to the class system in general (especially in Ul'dah). There are nobles, poor, and those in between. The terms used OOCly to define those categories aren't really that relevant in this situation. Especially not for an activity that is meant to be fun, give insight to where the RP community leans, and gives people a chance to write a little bit about their character's aspects that they may otherwise seldom get a chance to talk about (in this case, their character's wealth)
So let's please not nitpick the little stuff and just enjoy the character descriptions and poll results ^^;
