You can change that without deleting the poll. When you edit the post, your poll starts with something like `[poll type=regular results=on_vote public=true chartType=bar]`; you can edit the “results” parameter to `results=on_close`.  
Though if I remember correctly, when you edit the poll, all votes are deleted, but at least you don’t have to recreate it.
