@erkan: Please note that the poll results on Gridcoin Research Corp are still calculated by the old formula when Mag+Balance was 50%/50%. GridcoinStats displays poll results by the new formula that was voted trough a month ago.
Thanks I will add a note from now on.

TL;DR Now the ratio is 5.67:1 (Balance:Magnitude), so a high balance (i.e. plenty of GRC in your wallet) yields a large voting weight in these Magnitude+Balance polls.
This is actually backwards. The ratio is 5.67:1 (Magnitude:Balance), thus your magnitude is multiplied by 5.67 and then added to your balance for your vote weight.
That's not correct, you have probably misunderstood the voting weight formula. Indeed, 5.67 is shown next to Magnitude, but you have to take into account the whole value in parentheses, not just 5.67.
voting weight = ((Total coins)/115000/5.67)*(Magnitude) + Balance
