The only problem is, there’s no ‘Make Post’ on the page. If I choose Create Post, there is no option to create a poll.

So how do I do it?

Looks like Facebook isn’t doing polls for personal pages anymore. I see I can still make them in groups I am in, but not on my personal feed or on a page.

Facebook features change pretty rapidly, and even sometimes they test features by releasing them to some people but not others. So you can’t always rely on help articles to accurately describe what is available to do on Facebook on any given day.
