Good rating plugin that doesn’t depend on an external service?

Is there a good plugin for rating blog posts that doesn’t depend on PollDaddy or another external service? Ideally I’d like a plugin similar in appearance to Polldaddy Polls & Ratings, but without the PollDaddy dependency (I’d prefer to have the rating data in the WP database).

EDIT: just to make things clear: I’m not interested in polls, only in rating for blog posts

What I tried so far:

  • GD Star rating: too complex, and doesn’t work at all for me (*)
  • WP-PostRatings: doesn’t work at all for me (*) (my mistake… I didn’t realize I had to modify the theme. This one works fine)
  • kk Star ratings: doesn’t look too good with my theme (Garland revisited)
  • Post ratings: simple, good looking, but there’s a bug with my theme; I’ll try to fix the CSS if I can’t find anything better (OK, I’m really, really bad at CSS…)
  • Rating-Widget: really nice, but depends on external site

(*) perhaps this is because I have an unusual setup (Windows/IIS server, SQL Server database with WP database abstraction plugin, multi-site with domain mapping)
