But in the case of Clinton it is clear that many of those who didn't like her but hated Trump felt inclined to answer the question without worrying that declining to choose Clinton could make Trump president. In other words everyone knows that much of that other 17% would switch back to Clinton in a real election, and therefore should realize that the results of the paper's poll was spurious.
In my opinion that's a terribly worded question and the pollster is almost guilty of shading the results by asking it that way. Noone wants to say they "regret" their vote, especially not just 100 days in. And even if they end up hating Trump, they can still say they didn't "regret" their vote because they still hate Hillary for whatever reason.
