Is this an experiment to see what revealing the preference of the person doing the poll does to change the out ome of the poll?
That'd be good. You (or your co-investigators) put similar polls on several comparable but non-overlapping community forums, and see if there's any significant change in results for different ad-hoc statements (or intensities) of preference, either in favour of your localised favourites
or And of course control(s) of no such 'deliberate biasing'.
(With enough 'spare' polled-populations you could duplicate, or even diversify to see if opinions on different kinds of kittens, puppies, antelope, etc, exhibited different tendencies to follw the bias.And/or mix up the array to see if "first noticed/last noticed" biases favouritism. Even swap out varieties for other unseen ones. But that's a much larger experiment, beyond a mere Science Fare Project... And aren't you supposed to be just doing things like bicarbonate-of-soda-and-papier-maché-volcanos, anyway? And/or warp-drives/time-machines, and so come to the notice of some Shadowy Government Agency? Well, those two extremes are my only experience of Science Fairs, from my in-dpth analysis of US film and TV shows...

If it's a meta-meta-experiment, looking to see if someone is trying to work out what greater plan you might be trying to examine by, then perhaps you can chalk this down as such a result. Or is that now a successful meta-meta-meta-experimet? I've lost count.
...oh, and I'm torn between the Tricolour (traditional 'illustrated' type of guineapig) and the coronet (I'm sure that's the type a friend of mine had, way back when we were both kids). Let's say I'll plump for the Tricolour, though, if you need just the one answer.
