I'm not on X and won't click on it due to its fuckwit owner.
But what I don't understand is why they would lie at all? What's the point? It's not like polls aren't anonymous. No 0ne is going to find out. Why would you bother lying? Admittedly, I don't understand why anyone would vote for Trump, but seriously, what's to be gained from lying to a pollster?

Some refuse to take part and some lie. As a pollster, you can try to model to take into account people who don't want to take part, but you can't do anything with systematic / non-random lying.
