If anyone finds such a study, then for the record, here are my expectations:

- Politicians lie much more than an average person.

- Sales and marketing people lie more than politicians.

No data on this matter, but when a politician can say obvious lies in front of, sometimes literary, millions of people and look comfortable about that, it says something about him as a human being. I for one, couldn't do that.

I would love do see any data/evidence from you.

> Maybe their lies are just more public. They're all humans, after all.

...your evidence is your previous, unproven argument.

I don't have evidence either way, that why there's a "maybe" there.

Politicians lie, humans lie, and politicians are humans. Unless there's some strong evidence, claiming that politicians lie more than the average human makes no sense.
