i think it would depend on what poll extension you are using as to how to embed it into an article.

is there a specific third-party extension or hosted service you are using for your poll? if so, will you please share what it is?

Just polls create on our site by the article writer.

joomla 2.5 doesn't have a polls extension that can be "just polls create on our site by the article writer."

you must have some other poll extension installed? if so, what is it?

if not, then you will need some kind of a poll extension or something like survey monkey or something like that. once you know that, then you can figure out what you need to do to embed it into an article.

if you choose a third party extension for joomla, choose one that can be embedded into an article. if you use something like survey monkey, you'll grab the html code for it to embed into the article.

sorry i can't be of more help. polls don't just "create" in joomla 2.5.
