Any database retrieve query that i do returns nothing, what may I be doing wrong?

I have been able to get my database queries to work properly for
deleting existing entries and also adding new entries to the database
but I am completely stumped as to why I am unable to retrieve anything
from my database. I am trying a query such as:

from web1.polls.models import Poll
retquery = Poll.objects.all()
print retquery
--prints: "[ ]"

Also, if I try this, it just returns "poll object"
from web1.polls.models import Poll
retquery = Poll.objects.all()[0]
print retquery
--prints: "poll object"

I have looked at everything and there are definitely entries in the
database, I have tried this with a number of different models where
everything else is working otherwise so I don't know what I can do at
this point, any advice is greatly appreciated
