I suspect some of this is the lizardman effect.
(If you ask people any question on a survey, some will say yes, and if it's clear what their 'allegiance' would say, many will say yes)

is there a more official term for that in the social sciences literature (there must be) -- cant find anything on "lizardman effect"
but i agree, politics in US is heavily tribal and questions like these are like "Are you on team Blue or team Red?" either explicitly/implicitly

Not sure--guessing there is? The 'lizardman' name comes, not surprisngly, because if you have a poll about whether someone/some group/the world is/is run by a lizardman, you'll get a decent number of people saying "yes"
