If this is really a bias problem rather than a people-want-to-give-the-poll-creator-karma problem, then the trend should reverse if we reverse the up and down parts of the poll.
On further investigation, it looks like you’re right, except that it’s four times rather than one-fourth. (Thanks go to jamieastorga for pointing out the page.)

Downvote this post if you agree with it.
This would make voting more expensive, as downvotes are a limited resource while upvotes are not.

It’s possible I misremember, or the policy changed, but I thought that you couldn’t cast a total number of downvotes more than one-fourth your karma.

Testing...
No, it seems the rule is that you have to have at least 1 karma before you can cast any downvotes.
Upvote this post for karma balance.
