Is this what you meant by worn bushings? I'm still not 100% sure what "poling" is but I think it's an interruption of themagnetic and electric fields caused by poor alignment.
"Slow cranking and high current draw typically indicate worn bearings or bushings inside the starter. Worn bushings will result in an off-center armature. This may result in poling and can throw off the alignment of the starters magnetic fields."

"a polling starter motor is caused by collapsed/worn bearings.
It causes the rotor to break the field and stall as it tries to rotate within the stator."
