Does anyone know how I might have a small poll in the sidebar of a forum or in the welcome header, with a link to the results in a forum thread?

An example of this working I found on http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/.
You can see the poll on the bottom of his right column.

I would imagine this would be fairly simple, and yet I don't see a mod that does this easily so I may be wrong.

To clarify, in case I haven't made this confusing enough, I have an interesting poll buried somewhere in my forum and would like to put the poll in my welcome header so it will be seen on the forum home. A small box with poll and a link to the results in the thread it belongs to.

I haven't read a lot about vBa yet, but I'm wondering if that might be an easy way to accomplish this -or would it be overkill for what I want to do?
