Character polls?

I've been looking online to find old character polls, or even new ones, conducted by Shonen Jump or other groups.

My efforts have been mostly futile.

So, does anyone know where I could find some? Much appreciated!

Daizenshuu1, which is translated at Kanzentai has a couple.

Here we go. You have to scroll a ways down to find them, so I'll just quote them here:

201 ~ 205 / 1993 WJ #12
Character Popularity Poll Results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In first place was Gohan, and going downwards until fifth place were Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and Piccolo, in that order.

253 ~ 257 / 1995 WJ #05/06
Character Popularity Poll Results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In first place was Goku, and after that was Vegeta, Trunks, Gotenks, and Piccolo, respectively. These were also used as telephone cards.

Is it just me, or do those reflect who had the most spotlight at the end of the ark in which they were taken? Assuming my reading of the times is right...

Yeah, the first one is from around the end of the Cell arc, and the second one is from towards the end of the series. The question is, are those characters the most popular because the got the most spotlight, or did they get the most spotlight because they were popular?

Interestingly, the Trunks who comes in third in the Buu arc poll is actually future Trunks. Or at least, the picture drawn to go along with it is of future Trunks. I guess he managed to hang onto his popularity even without being in the series anymore.

There were also character bios in the Dragonball Forever guidebook for the Kanzenban, in the form of longer bios for the 20 characters with the most 'points' (I assume this refers to votes, since there are comments from fans throughout the bios and the book itself)...These were followed with small bios of (I think) all other characters.

Here are the top 20 and their points:

Goku 6235
Vegeta 2527
Gohan 2131
Trunks 1487
Piccolo 1176
Goten 798
Kuririn 736
Buu 421
Freeza 324
18 204
Mr. Satan 201
Karin 185
Kamesennin 172
Cell 170
Yamcha 163
Tenshinhan 125
Bulma 112
17 98
Yajirobe 93
Videl 86

These bios concerned all versions of a character; for example 'Trunks' discusses both Future Trunks and Kid Trunks.
