Ruby on Rails Devise user - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am new to ruby on rails. I am originally a PHP/mysql programmer. I can not seem to understand how you connect any posts to the user and display them (e.g. a post is successfully created with the user ID and then the users ID is queried to get his or her name.)
I am using devise for authentication.
Controller
def create
poll = current_user.polls.build(params[:poll])
poll.onefourty = poll.onefourty[0..140]
poll.created_at = Time.now
poll.save!
if #poll.save
redirect_to root_path
else
redirect_to root_path
end
end
Form
<%= form_for Poll.new, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<div id="form">
<div class="text_input" style="height: 65px;"><%= f.text_area :onefourty %><div class="label" style="height: 63px; line-height: 63px;">Question</div></div>
<div class="text_input"><%= f.text_field :option1 %><div class="label">Option One</div></div>
<div class="text_input"><%= f.text_field :option2 %><div class="label">Option Two</div></div>
<div class="text_input"><%= f.text_field :option3 %><div class="label">Option Three</div></div>
<div class="text_input"><%= f.text_field :option4 %><div class="label">Option Four</div></div>
<div id="submit">
<div id="left">
</div>
<%= f.submit :id => "next", :value => "" %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>

create_table "polls", :force => true do |t|

Assuming you have the following structure:
# app/model/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :polls
#...
end
# app/model/poll.rb
class Poll < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
#...
end
And if you're successfully creating polls, which it appears you probably are, then in any view - you could query and display the current user's polls with:
# app/views/polls/index.html.erb
<%- if current_user -%>
<%- current_user.polls.each do |poll| -%>
<h2><%= poll.onefourty %></h2>
<ul>
<li><%= poll.option1 %></li>
<li><%= poll.option2 %></li>
<li><%= poll.option3 %></li>
<li><%= poll.option4 %></li>
<li><%= poll.option5 %></li>
<li><%= poll.option6 %></li>
</ul>
<%- end -%>
<%- else -%>
<em>Not logged in</em>
<%- end -%>
