I'm trying to write a polling application and display the results on an
admin screen.. my goal is to show all the answers for the poll questions and
display the # of votes for each.  The query I have to do this is:

select pd.ANSWER_TEXT, pr.*, COUNT(*) as NUM from ft_pollresponses as pr
right join ft_polldata as pd on pd.QUESTION_ID = pr.QUESTION_ID and
pd.VOTE_ID = pr.RESPONSE GROUP BY pr.RESPONSE

but the problem is that if an answer has 0 votes, it doesn't show up in the
query results.. I know I'm doing something wrong with the join, but an
unsure what.. can anyone help?  Below are my 2 table schemas.

CREATE TABLE ft_pollresponses (
   POLL_ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   QUESTION_ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   RESPONSE varchar(200) NOT NULL,
   KEY POLL_ID (POLL_ID),
   KEY QUESTION_ID (QUESTION_ID)
);

CREATE TABLE ft_polldata (
   POLL_ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   QUESTION_ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   ANSWER_TEXT char(175) NOT NULL,
   VOTE_ID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
   PRIMARY KEY (VOTE_ID)
);

Any help is much appreciated... Thanks!

Chad
