A post island is for the recent topics thing to the left here; it simply shows the latest posts or latest topics.

A custom island allows you to place anything you wish in them.

Polls however are strictly content, there isn't a way, at this time, to have them in ANY island, unless as just a link pointing to the specific post that the poll is in.
