Hello Manju! No, you cannot place a poll in a forum topic. You could provide a link to a poll from a forum topic--not sure that would solve their problem or not?

Hello Manju,

Here are the steps.

1. First, create a poll. Make sure that you set it to be visible to the right people (such as all network members or just community members if you want to limit participation to community members). 
2. Display the poll and copy the poll's URL to your computer clipboard.
3. Create the forum topic. Within the text editor for the forum topic, type some text such as "please participate in our poll" and then make this text a link by using the    button. Paste the poll's URL in the URL field and click OK. Save the forum topic.
4. Display the forum topic and click the link to the poll. The poll detail page should appear.

Let me know if you need any help! Lisa
