Here in Brazil a street pool asked two questions:

"Are politicians corrupt and steal public money?"

and

"If you were elected yourself, would you be corrupt and steal public money?"

The first had 90% of "YES" (no surprise here).

The second had a 60% of "YES"

This mean if you put a random person in office, 60% of chance they WILL steal. And 40% of chance they might fall into the group of real honest people, or people that steal but won't admit about it.
