Poll tool for blogger is available in a form of a gadget and can only be placed in the sidebars.
But do not worry friends, I have found a solution and used it successfully. Now one can run polls within the post as well. It is pretty simple than it looks like. I am non-technical person and hardly understand coding but was still able to do it.
Lets see how:
1. Start with creating a "blogger poll gadget" and place it in any of the sidebars.
2. Put a easy to remember title to it like "Was this information useful". and save.
3. Now open the homepage of your blog in any of the browsers like microsoft internet explorer or firefox etc.
4. Open the source code from the tool bar i.e under view then source code.
5. Find the gadget title. For example "Was this information useful".
6. Copy the below looking code to notepad
7. Now change the code slightly to:
<h2>Was this information useful?</h2>

8. Copy the code as per step 7 at your post and you are done.
9. You may now delete the "blogger poll gadget" from the side bar.
Here is an example. Do participate in the poll.
