Diophantine approximation

Let $P$ be a polynomial of fixed degree $d$ with integer coefficients of absolute values at most $n$. Assume that $P(\cos 2\pi/n)$ is no zero. Is there a lower bound for $|P(\cos 2\pi/n)|$ ? For instance, is this at least $n^{-C(d) }$ where $C(d)$ is some constant depending on $d$ ?
