Is it better to be honest and say we plan to vote for the President, or is it better to lie and say Biden?

I'm talking from a pure strategic standpoint. Is it a bigger reward to encourage fellow Trump supporters by increasing Trump's poll numbers, OR is it better to lull the Dems into a false sense of security and make the "silent majority" appear even larger come Election Day?

I wanted to see what the community thinks. Comment below.

P.S. I'm assuming for this discussion that a pede actually meets a pollster, which seems to be a pretty rare occurrence.

This was one of my arguments for the lie, but I worry about balancing this with the risk of demoralizing Trump voters who would only vote if they believe they have a good chance. Irrational voting strategy, but those people do exist. . . I guess there's no good answer in a broken poll to begin with.
