To be fair, we are better at it than dogs.
Trumps 15% is more significant than it seems. He is in a field with about a dozen career GOP politicians. These are the people who get the label "serious candidates." Those who answer polls know that. They know Donald Trump will flake apart and drop out long before the convention. Picking Trump on a poll today says little about Trump and a lot about the rest of the field.
In that case, all I can say is that I am deeply disappointed in Americans.
Are you all really so serious and boring as to answer truthfully on such polls?
At least fifteen percent of Australians would pick the silliest candidate, just to fuck with the pollster's head.
I just assumed that enough Americans had a sense of humour to render this result totally meaningless, and I would think quite poorly of your countrymen if that isn't the case.
Don't worry, this happens in America as well. My late Father-in-law was the type who would fuck with phone polsters in exactly this manner. I would do the same thing if I had the time and patience. I just hang up on them before they can get going.
