Thanks for the links. I appreciate you taking the time to find them.

My next question would be - now that we've established that polling may influence voters, have be established that the influence is a negative one?

It seems that polls are just as likely to influence voters to cast their ballot for the front runner, as it is to influence them to vote strategically.
