Yes it is.

Being allowed to add options while the poll is active will possibly
invalidate votes made before the change though. (Adding options before
anyone has voted might be ok, but it would make it a race to finish
creating the poll before anyone votes ^_^)

Preferably adding options should be part of the creation process.

Concrete change proposal:

* In the 'Create a Poll' form, add a field called 'Number of options'.
* Rename the button 'Create' into 'Next' or 'Continue' or similar.
* Add another page (page B) after the button is pressed.
* Display on page B all data that has been entered in the previous from.
* Add fields for the options on page B.
* Add a button called 'Create' on page B.
* Possibly also add a button 'Cancel' on page B, but just walking away
should accomplish the same thing.
* Possibly add buttons to add/remove options on page B.
