No, but I may be a bit more cynical than is healthy.

But, I cannot remember the name of the book without looking at my kindle.

How the pollster scored lying would be pretty controversial, for sure. Personally, I was impressed with this next book and would look for the signs of deception it describes, rather than the actual content:
Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception
The Amazon description, I should caution, is overblown. You can't tell that someone is lying using the techniques -- all you can say is that there are signs of deception. But in a poll, where everything is a matter of averaged probabilities, it might work well.
Also, if the interviewee named a book title that just doesn't exist, or was written by a different author, I think we would be safe in putting it down as probable prevarication.
