A very slightly different question is much easier to answer:
>900 out of 1000 people say a car is blue. What's the probability that, when asked, you'd say that the car is blue?
This is, IMO, 90%. Whatever skew there is between car-is-blue and survey-response-is-blue should be about the same between you and the general population. Unless, of course, you have some reason to believe that you're different than the overall population.
It doesn't matter how the question is asked either, or why people are saying what they're saying. 10% of people could be trolls who say that the car is colored "like a lizard person".
