Make sure to also set the Title of the vote block in the block settings so that you can easily find the results.

Use the Status option to set your poll to be open, closed, or to close it automatically at a specific date and time in the future.

Vote Block Item Settings

When you click on the individual vote items (i.e. the thumbs up or thumbs down buttons), you can access the settings to control the colors of the individual buttons.

You can set the color of the text, background, and border using these settings.
