RESOLVED!
I had done my best to follow the process on this page:
http://www.joomlatune.com/jcomments-poll.htmlbut for some reason it was not working. This is why I posted my question.
Today I went back and reviewed it all over again. I double checked my code and found ONE SPELLING MISTAKE (an "e" where an "o" was supposed to be). Once fixed, it now works.
Kudos to the JoomlaTune team for making this work.

However I'm not impressed with the fact I never received any response to my inquiry to start with.
