The poll is useless as a giude as people will mainly remember the last couple of updates so characters we have not seen in quite sometime will score low.
To me, a character poll gives limited information without clear knowledge of where the character’s story is going in the future. Some personal examples:
I have no interest in Logan as a romantic interest of Ellie’s. But if he got involved with Sophia down the road, the MILF being seduced by her daughter’s frat boy-type boyfriend, I MIGHT like to see that. (But not a high priority)
I don’t care about Emma’s relationship with Dylan at all. MAYBE if Emma got into a sexual affair with Sophia I’d be slightly interested. (But still a very low priority)
One of my favorite POTENTIAL characters is Patricia, but she hasn’t really done all that much so far. Just made out with Sophia and touched Dylan in his underwear a bit. I’m hoping she will soon take a front and active part as a corruptor of Sophia or Dylan or Ellie, or SOMEBODY!
I could go through the whole character list this way, but I hope I’ve made my point.
