Has anyone noticed that Mashima changed his banner on twitter to Ichiya?
Yes, I noticed. Best decision Mashima ever made in the last two years.

Google translation says:

Popular characters are:

1st place, Natsu
2nd place, Gray
In the 3rd place was Lucy

I think the ranking was estimated by Mashima for the fans who visited his Exhibition not the whole fandom.

He also said Many were Rave master fans.

Yes, you're right, 1st place for Natsu, 2nd for Gray and 3rd for Lucy :) I also think, Hiro considered fans on the exhibition only, if it was official popularity poll, the results would be published somewhere.

In late 2016 Mashima said Lucy is the 1st character and Natsu is the 2nd in Japan so i don't think that will change all sudden.

The official popularity of the characters might have some changes because of the relevance and such, Lucy didn't get much in the latest arcs. It basically circulating around Natsu only so he might surpass her.

I think the popularity poll is based off from the fans in the exhibition, not the whole fandom

There wasn't a popularity poll. Hiro was doing autographs sketches for the 20th anniversary event. People tend to request characters for him to draw for those autographs.

its funny how characters who get the most shit are also the most popular.
I always wonder how do the opinions of the japanese fans compare to western fans.
Is natsu more popular there?

Globally Natsu is the most popular character.

In Japan Lucy is more popular than Natsu. He is the second popular character there

That's cool, but I'm kind of shocked, reading the comments on Mangahelpers would have some believe other wise.
I guess it's just this community.

Maybe underdog characters are more popular in Japan? I also see tons and tons of Japanese fan twitter accounts that just adore Lucy that post new fanart almost every day.
