Have you used this guide?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/polls/

Have you consulted the troubleshooting section too?

Why aren’t my polls showing up?
Each poll can only be displayed once on a post. So, if you have a poll in a post and in the sidebar, only the first instance of the poll will show. You can show 2 or more different polls on one post, however.
