  Motivated by recent failures of polling to estimate populist party support,
we propose and analyse two methods for asking sensitive multiple choice
questions where the respondent retains some privacy and therefore might answer
more truthfully. The first method consists of asking for the true choice along
with a choice picked at random. The other method presents a list of choices and
asks whether the preferred one is on the list or not. Different respondents are
shown different lists. The methods are easy to explain, which makes it likely
that the respondent understands how her privacy is protected and may thus
entice her to participate in the survey and answer truthfully. The methods are
also easy to implement and scale up.
