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.
The better the dems think theyre doing in the polls, the less fake ballots they think they need.
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.
