they lie. It's a well known fact. Post-election polling asking whom people voted for is not accurate.

In fact, according to some studies I have seen, if you polled today asking who people voted for in 2004 elections, you would see a fairly high skew towards Bush - it's called the "bandwagon effect".

I'd love for someone to do that kind of poll, would be interesting to see that "bandwagon effect" in action.
