I would suggest making the poll a separate page (possibly a template) and then transcluding it on the main page. The reason for this is that doing so will allow you to remove the poll without losing the results as well as include the poll on other pages in the future if you wish to do so. I you use the poll tags directly on the main page the poll will only collect data from the main page and will be reset as soon as it is removed, even for a few seconds.
