It's an interesting idea executed poorly. What if we changed it to:

"1000 people were asked how many lights were lit up in a row of 4 lit up lights. 900 people said there were 4 lights."

Is this a Star Trek: TNG reference?
There. Are. FOUR. LIGHTS!
In that case I would trust the math, but I'd suggest that first we somehow classify the complexity of the scenarios before we jump straight to "9 out of 10 respondents voted "fake news" therefore it is fake news".
