Keeping in mind that only a tiny fraction of voters are actually able to attend caucuses, I don't think polls for caucus states should go on the wall of shame. It's impossible to know whether Clinton had a 10 point lead among eligible voters in Kansas as that poll showed, the results of the caucus definitely don't prove she didn't, and as such it shouldn't go on the wall of shame.

True, but that poll wasn't even led by Clinton. The poll was led by 'Undecided'. There's also the fact that the sample size was under 300.
