Remember we TTOLers are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes down to reading the DH, so our effect on the outcome of the survey is most likely very low unless our interest in the poll is way out of proportion to the total readership. I don't know about the French side, but I do know that they have the Pelican a daily summary of island and other news plus other publications which might hold their interest, so readership there might be low. If all of this is true, and I think I am close to being right, TTOLers votes have little effect on the poll outcomes.
