Adding a Poll
When Automattic acquired PollDaddy, we fully integrated polls into WordPress.com. To add a PollDaddy poll, just click on the orange lollipop icon above the editor.
If you are using polls for the first time on WordPress.com you will be prompted to create or import an account. Choose either option and then follow the instructions.
After your account has been setup, you can create a new poll.
Configure the poll options to suit your needs. After you have configured the poll, click the Save Poll button.
A message will appear at the top letting you know the poll has been created. Click the Send to Editor button to insert the poll into your post or page.
After publishing the post, the poll will appear on your blog. Here is an example poll.
Additional Info
When clicking on the orange PollDaddy poll icon you will see a list of any polls you’ve created.
There are several options there to edit the poll, view results, delete, preview, send to editor, and get the HTML code.
You can add a PollDaddy poll to your sidebar with the same process above, but copy and paste the shortcode into a text widget. If you would like to use a previous poll in your sidebar, use the HTML code link on the poll list for a poll that was created previously.
Each poll can only be displayed once on a page. So if you have a poll in a post and the sidebar, only the first instance of the poll will show. You can show 2 or more different polls on one page though.
You can also access Polls from the menu.
