    This is a response bias

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Response bias is a general term for a wide range of tendencies for participants to respond inaccurately or falsely to questions. These biases are prevalent in research involving participant self-report, such as structured interviews or surveys. Response biases can have a large impact on the validity of questionnaires or surveys.

    This is exactly what happens here in the excercise, the result of the poll do not match the vote count, both results do not match, therefore, we can see that a lot of people lied in the poll or simply did not answer it very well.
