Yes, polenta is made from crushed dry corn just like cornmeal. In fact you can use cornmeal to cook homemade polenta if you don't have official polenta. I use it all the time. The only difference I've ever noticed is that cornmeal is often ground finer than polenta. If you get course ground cornmeal it's the same thing.
