Yes, I enter query manually while testing. Here are explain plans :
for select count(*) from poll_3 where eid = 72333
"Aggregate (cost=34697.64..34697.65 rows=1 width=0)"
" -> Seq Scan on poll_3 (cost=0.00..34650.40 rows=18893 width=0)"
" Filter: (eid = 72333)"
for for select count(*) from poll where eid = 72333
"Aggregate (cost=320001.59..320001.60 rows=1 width=0)"
" -> Append (cost=0.00..319570.78 rows=172323 width=0)"
" -> Seq Scan on poll (cost=0.00..27.50 rows=17 width=0)"
" Filter: (eid = 72333)"

width=0)"
" Filter: (eid = 72333)"
