Political preferences are scrutinized in a presidential election year with most questions involving a voters' left or right slant.
But sometimes pollsters get creative.
In New Hampshire in 2020, Democrats were asked if they preferred four more years with President Donald Trump or to live out the plot of a Roland Emmerich film.

- "Donald Trump wins re-election"
- "A giant meteor strikes the earth, extinguishing all human life"
53% of men preferred the meteor strike while 68% of women would rather live the worst parts of the movie Deep Impact than live four more years with Trump as President.
