That's not what that survey said:
> About two in three voters say they think it is likely that a significant number of people are not truthful when responding to political surveys, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.
It didn't ask if they lied, but if they thought other people lied. Maybe that's a proxy for figuring out if the polled person lied themselves, but that's not at all clear.
- akvadrako 6y agoI agree it’s unclear but I would guess it’s probably a more accurate way to see if they lie then asking them directly. Even if the real number is 7% instead of 70% that could be enough to swing the election.
