Let's try an example:
The difference between (6x3 + x2 - 4x + 9) and (6x3 + x2 - 4x + 7) is 2 .
2 is a polynomial of degree 0, so this example would appear to support the hypothesis in the question.
However, polynomials cannot include negative exponents. So, (2x)/(2x2) produces 1/x, which is not a polynomial.
So no, not always.
