Yes, Poltergeists have the best resistances of any entity in Book I. They resist 100% of elemental attacks, in addition to toxins and disease. Pure magick attacks like Compress Atmosphere and Fleshboil will work 80% of the time, though.

What SpottedShroom said. Compress Atmosphere is about the only Elemental spell I've found to have much effect on poltergeists. They're the biggest challenge to trying to do a pure magic user who never attacks anything with a physical attack.
