I added this poll to my instance, but the question doesn’t appear. How can I create a poll that looks more intuitive to users?  
People had voted but it displayed zero voters.

You must write the question outside the poll:

### What is your favorite animal?

_Poll ([view on site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-a-poll-be-pinned-as-a-banner/72022/2))_

Are you on the very latest version of Discourse?  
There were bugs on polls that have already been fixed some time ago.

Yep, for reference:

> Hi Team Discourse ! I’m here to report on a little bug, when I create a topic with a poll and pin it to banner topic two things are broken : it is impossible to vote If we go inside the topic and vote, the result is not visible on the banner. I run in a fairly recent version (updated 2 or 3 days ago), but it doesn’t seem that it was fixed since then. There is nothing urgent, I noticed it on a little forum under construction, and I doubt these kinds of ideas are often used.

Polls don’t support being pinned in a banner at the moment.

如果他们这样做了，那将非常方便！

有一个名为 [GitHub - discourse/discourse-poll-banner: Display a poll from a topic as a banner for all logged-in users. · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-poll-banner) 的主题组件，它是基于数值型投票工作的。我不确定是否有人能对其进行适配，以支持某种形式的“基于文本”的投票？

确实有一些关于在横幅中使用投票的讨论，但我认为其中许多最初是作为 bug 报告提交的，后来被重新归类为功能请求，而非正式的 #Contribute > Feature 请求。或许可以尝试汇总相关内容，以便更好地引起重视，并让人们有机会在讨论中发声。
