If I'm the person who made the poll in a post can I see the results of said poll without having to vote in them? I mean I get why someone who didn't make the post being unable to see it before they vote but yeah it just seems off that the person who made it can't. Just maybe do something about that and change it. Thank you very much.

Even presidential candidates get to vote for themselves. Vote your post and see the results. :)

It would certainly be nice to be able to see poll results without having to vote on it first, but that may be a ways away from now.

There are a couple options available regardless;

  1. Vote on the poll and mentally subtract one from the amount
  2. Create a tertiary/extraneous option "See Results", which would inevitably extend to people who don't intend to vote on the poll proper.

They're certainly fairly slapdash methods of going about it, but, hey, sometimes you gotta work with what you got.
