How to embed a poll in a Substack newsletter?

I'm using Substack to create and distribute my newsletter and I'm looking for a way to embed a poll directly in the newsletter?

Ideally I'm looking for something equivalent to the already existing Twitter and Youtube widgets that Substack has. A link to an external poll is always an option, but if there is a way to embed a poll directly in the newsletter it would be great.

Is this possible?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated?

    I built my own using a few lines of Ruby code and I embed this into every VimTricks edition. I haven't seen any out of the box solutions for this yet, sadly. But I believe @yaroslawbagriy is working on something that will accomplish this kind of feedback gathering.

      Ah cool! I checked it out and it's a really simple, elegant solution. I will probably have to do something similar :)

        Yeah like Colin said, I'm currently working on an out of the box solution for this here. Signup for early access here http://newsletics.com/ :)

          Cool! Will the solution have something similar to Substack widgets that can be embedded in the newsletter itself?

            Yes that's exactly my plan :)

    Bill Murphy at Understandably has something really interesting like this, basically lets people give him 1-5 star feedback on each post -- not sure how he does it exactly but might be worth taking a look!
