I struggle with that sports analogy because in sports all the players or at least most of them have already played and given their best in the first half of the game / race. Whereas here more than 99% of people who read the poll results were not asked by the pollers. Wouldn't it be natural and logical for them to think "Wait a minute, you haven't asked me, I'll show you, who's gonna win" ?

Is it somehow proven that polls showing one party is ostensibly losing make their potential voters disengage and lose their motivation to vote? Or is this just a hypothesis?

I for one would expect folks who want that party to win be especially motivated to vote by polls with such results.
