To find out how I created this poll check out this video from Chris.Pirillo.com
If you do not have a Gmail Account yet, You will need to sign up for a gmail account. Now lets log in to Google Docs.
Now that you have the basics here are a few more tips to help you build your poll.
You can start building your poll once you are in Google Docs by clicking the NEW tab and selecting FORM.
I suggest you use the actual words you want people to choose from in the form instead of numbers like in the video. To do the count with text the formula would be:
"=Countif(b2:b100,"Your Text Here")"
I recommend creating your graph on a seperate sheet. After you have created your new graph you can get the Embed Code to add to your website.
Go to the right of the screen and select SHARE-->Publish as Web Page. Check the auto update box, and select the MORE OPTIONS link at the bottom left of the box. In the New screen select HTML EMBED then click get HTML.
Go out and get your own polling numbers!
