I think you need to put your stylesheet in a separate directory reserved
for static files such as css, js etc and perhaps call it polls/static.
Then you need to run manage.py collectstatic which will copy such static
files to the directory nominated in settings.STATIC_ROOT from where they
will be served at settings.STATIC_URL

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/static-files/

In your settings.py
At STATICFILES_DIRS you had write basedir, style. Css instead style.css write "static"

Hi.

You could try to diagnose issue with findstatic management command:

./manage.py findstatic -v 3 polls/style.css

You should get a list of paths Django tried to look for your static file (stylesheet) and of course was it found.

Hello,
You must make a separate directory in static folder.
in the html file try using { load staticfiles } not {load static}

Hi.

As you see Django indeed found your static file.

Next step is to open up developer tools in browser and load your page. You should be able to use it to determine was file even loaded and was your style applied to link 

Note that if I'm not mistaken plain color only affects unvisited links and visited link may stay different colored and thus seemingly you see that it wasn't doing "nothing".
