Obviously, the interviewer is implying about loyalty to the state (“state” as in country, not a US State) or to an administration, and I know that they are implying that. But I am not loyal to an administration. But I know that’s what they actually meant.
How would the polygraph interpret it if I say “Yes”, because I’m answering based on my interpretation of loyalty to the constitution, but deep down, I full well know the implied question the interviewer is asking.

Polygraphs, at best, potentially measure nervousness. The assumption is that lying makes people more nervous than telling the truth.
As others have said, the science behind this is bullshit.
I’ve taken 3 polygraphs in my lifetime, and I lied on all three. None of the polygraphers caught the lies, but all three accused me of lying on other questions where I told the truth.
Polygraphs are voodoo. I might take one for a job, if it were required, but I would never agree to one for the police. I would NEVER trust my freedom to one.
