Then I suggest you either

1) Visit hotscripts as mentioned erlier, and take a look at how some of the are run
2) Post more specific questions as to what you do not understand

There are hundreds of tutorials, articles, blogs, you name it about creating polls.
A little research goes a long way.

2-3 seconds on google.. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=cre ... rial&meta=

no, you are definately looking in the right places. how much about php do you know? i'm not asking this in a bad way, but merely trying to determine what we can do to help you. simply put, if you don't understand php or how to use php with mysql, then all the scripts in the world aren't gonna help you. and if you are at this level, then your main thing is gonna have to be learn the basics of php and mysql and how they work with each other, and THEN tackle this script. otherwise, this is gonna overwhelm you completely.

this type of script is very easy to make, and you shouldn't really have any problem. but until you get an understaning of what i mentioned above, you aren't (in my opinion) going to find anything that will help.

i manily want someone to tell me how i can make one that will go with my sites design but i dont know alot of php
You've grabbed a script of the net, you want to customise it. To do that, you will need to learn a bit about PHP. Your questions are too imprecise to answer and you can't expect anyone to flick a magic PHP-wand and finish your script for you.

Try to understand what the script you've posted is doing, then think about what you want to achieve and then, once you've considered that, think about how to implement that. If you have problems then, do post here. As such, your posts are pointing at a chicken and asking: "How can I make a kebap from that?"

Exercise #1: Learn to ask precise questions (see 2nd link in my sig).
