Poll is a powerful tool to ask certain questions and collect information from the interested users. This not only increases the possibility of user engagement but also to use the collected information for specified purposes. For example, if you are running a political site then you can conduct a poll to predict the election results. Weebly offers a third party element from PollDaddy to add a poll to your site.

Adjusting the Position
Though you can define a width for your PollDaddy poll, Weebly Poll element occupies full width of the page. There is no default option to reduce width of the poll element in Weebly; but you can use columns element to divide the space into multiple columns and place the poll element in the required column. Blank columns will be considered as empty space and will not be displayed in the published site. This way you can adjust the position and size of your poll to fit inside your content.
You also can use block quote element within columns element to show it as a vertical divider. This will separate the content and the poll by a divider line as used in the above example.
