      Or this could go the other way. Maybe you are 100% gonna vote for the R but, at the same time, you wish to 'register your disapproval' of Moore's behavior so you can still feel like a Good Person. How do you do that? Say 'less likely to'. (Even though you're not)

      In this way we can see poll-results that 1) don't really reflect the logical content of how the question/answer options are phrased and 2) bounce around with mood and a social need to emote/express certain things.

      During the 2016 election, a lot of people placed a lot of stock in the blips and bounces of the Trump-v-Clinton polls. Trump got a bounce from the 'Comey letter', etc. But if you buy the 'mood' dynamic I state above, that bounce meant nothing. Nada.

      A probable dynamic was that X% were Gonna Vote Trump all along, but only X-Y% would ever admit it in a poll, which made his support (inferred from polls) look less than it was, but then the 'Comey letter' prompted some of that Y% to be more honest. Etc.

      In the case of this Moore poll it will be used to infer that 'Moore voters are cool with pedophilia' or something, but that's exactly false. Moore voters - like all voters - are *tribal*, and this was the only tribally-correct answer option offered to them.

      You can't set up a winner-take-all democratic system and *not* expect people to attempt to maximize the apparent forcefulness and steadfastness of their tribal affiliation, by the way.

      Like, there's nothing to be gained by ceding tribal territory & telling a pollster 'gee this makes me less likely to support the R'. Even in cases where it does.

      I'm not saying polls are meaningless, of course, just that you must interpret them cautiously, and don't assume the surface logical content of the question/answers is what the respondent was, internally, answering.

      Similarly, you can't track a poll trajectory over time and assume that it genuinely reflects actual voter preference moving this way or that. It all depends.

      Anyway, so that's how you get a rock-ribbed R telling a pollster that learning Moore possibly molested a 14-year-old 'makes him more likely to' vote for Moore. No, it didn't. He's just projecting his steadfastness for the R Tribe and distaste for allowing D gains. Rationally.

      Alternative - he's answering "does the REPORTING about Moore make you more likely to vote for him?" with "yes" because a major motivation is distaste for "lying with the truth" style of reporting. Double points because this is actually another ex of "lying with truth" reporting

          True; many will decode this question - and indeed, just the very *context* that they're being asked it at all - as an invitation to express either approval or disapproval of Using This Reporting For This Purpose. And to register 'disapprove', they have to answer one way.
