Featured Polls on Homepage

Been searching for an answer to this but with no luck.  How can you display featured polls on the homepage?

Ive created a block to mimic the Featured polls block on the polls home page in my database.  Yet this does not show up at all on my homepage (yes I have cleared cache).

Trying to use the "FeaturedHome" function, it only seems to work on the Poll Home page and not the site homepage.

any ideas?

That is becuse it is of block type special which cannot be simply dropped on any page. The home page does not have the needed functions to make that block work.

In most cases only blocks of type RSS, PHP and HTML can be copied to other pages.

Thanks for the clarification Deano.

So ive done some digging and figured a few things out.  I cant seem to figure out how to get featured polls on the homepage so now I am trying to get just polls from the admin in a PHP block on the homepage.  I have figured out this code:

BxDolService::call('poll', 'get_polls', array(get_profile_polls, $iProfileId=1));

This will display polls just from profile id #1. 

only problem is it displays a double header in the design box.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  See picture:
