I think the answer "Yes but only in this poll" is an antinomy.

Definition: antinomy
  1. Opposition of one law or rule to another law or rule.
  2. An opposing law or rule of any kind.
  3. (Metaph.) A contradiction or incompatibility of thought or language; -- in the Kantian philosophy, such a contradiction as arises from the attempt to apply to the ideas of the reason, relations or attributes which are appropriate only to the facts or the concepts of experience
This philosophical construct is part of The Broom of the System by David Foster Wallace (but the origin of it is obviously somewhere else.)

No, never.
There's no point in lying in such situations because I wouldn't get any benefit from it.

I treat polls as fun and sometimes a moment of reflection.

There were some polls that didn't have the right choice for me so I picked something close even though it was technically wrong.

Why would someone even wanna do that? They're anonymous after all.

I would be curious about the reasons why people lied in polls in the past.
