Surely you jest. Polls are anonymous. And even if the security is bad, nobody is scrutinizing IP logs of poll respondents. Maybe in Kazakhstan or something, but freedom in the West has not fallen that far.
People do lie on polls, of course, but it's usually about self-expression, not self-protection. I'd imagine that vaccinated truckers are more likely to report antagonism to vaccine mandates by lying about being unvaccinated vs. the reverse.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoYou also have to consider that unvaccinated answering the poll honestly would be admitting to something that puts their livelihood on the line. I imagine that a disproportionate number would refuse to respond at all.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoImagine if I ran a nationwide poll asking if you’d ever had a felony conviction. I bet the numbers for that poll would be way lower than the real statistics. People don’t answer honestly on polls if they feel there is any way (even a perception) that this could come back and hurt them.
