Water as an entire molecule is neutral - there are no superscripts that would indicate that it is a polyatomic ion.

With this said, water is bipolar, and is slightly negative at the oxygen end of the molecule and slightly positive at the hydrogen end because of electronegativity - the tendency to attract electrons. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity, so shared electrons between the molecule spend more time at the oxygen molecules, and they are thus more negative. This is also known as a dipole moment.
