Most people don’t understand how polling is done. Most people don’t lie in polls.

I do not know if they lie or not. There are good cases to be made, that todays political polls do not really capture the reality.

The big story here? The Irony.

A poll conducted in August, showed that people think 2 in 3 people lie in polls. But this was concluded with a Poll.

That really depends on the wording of the questions and the choice of responses for the people being polled. Some pollsters do deliberately word the questions and limit response options to get a desired outcome. Even without manipulations, raw data needs to be presented and at this point some decide to compare apples and oranges.

This is a poll about what people imagine other people are doing, and not a poll about the actions themselves.

Some people imagine that extraterrestrials sometimes kidnap people. But that doesn’t tell you that there are extra-terrestrials.
 
People who lie will just cancel each other then. To some extent anyway.
