Adam-- For Approval, this is how I would do, I am not sure it is optimal.
1) I would cut all candidates into two equal groups the ones I like, the ones I do not. Without poll information, I believe it is the vote that would optimize my voting power... Stil I have shown it can make a strong Condorcet winner lose (even with a two-third majority against every one) 2) If I can get some poll information I judge reliable enough: out of my desired candidates, I would vote for the one I prefer the most and would approve too all my desired candidates that obtain a better position according to the poll. Example: sincere preferences A>B>C>D | E>F>G>H No poll: vote ABCD. The poll: D>H>B>A>C>G>F>E. I would vote ABD. Is it the same you say?
