Shortly after the assassination of JFK, some pollster did a nationwide poll with enough sample for a small margin of error. His question: "Did you vote for JFK or Nixon in November 1960?" If you know your history, then you know that JFK beat Nixon (or not) in a REALLY tight race.
As for my editorial 'or not', there remains a lot of talk to this day that Nixon actually won, but massive vote fraud in Chicago threw Illinois to JFK, and that was the deciding point in the 1960 election.
The pollster found that something like 75%+ of those polled claimed to have voted for JFK. So, roughly a quarter of those polled were flatly lying in that poll.
I wonder what the polls would read now about Obama? Personally, I fear that Obama will be re-elected. The minority voters who stayed home in November 2010 will be back to vote skin color like in November 2008, as will those who see the government as a huge teet.
