You can word questions so that they get the answer they want.

Press 1 for YES.
Press 2 for NO.
Press 3 for . . . I'd like to slap her sometimes, but she'd kill me!
Press 4 for . . . actually, she hits me sometimes, but only because I'm a pain!
Press 5 for . . . Not falling for that one!

Nuanced questions aren't common in polls.

At least you can hang up on them if you feel you are being led astray. lol
