Polling hubs

The second type of deployment is a polling hub (formerly known as a carousel). The questions are shown with a preview of the following question to the right, and a reminder of the last question answered to the left. The dots above the question text indicate the polling session's status as the user progresses through the experience. 

A polling hub example is shown here. Information about the integration may be found here.

This implementation is typically used on a page where the focus is on the polling experience. Polling hubs are a great way to increase time spent on your site and, therefore, ad revenue.
