Taking that humorous example further, you could go down both questions, still have a have a final "Yes" to both questions, but then have a final question to ask which one of the two a particular voter is worried about. e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ZZJXw4MTA&lc=Ugja0o_XRxNOR... has a comment with the transscript of the skit

HUMPHREY: No. So she starts asking you some questions. Mr Woolley, are you worried about the number of young people without jobs?

BERNARD: Yes. HUMPHREY: Are you worried about the rise in crime among teenagers?

BERNARD: Yes.

HUMPHREY: Do you think there's a lack of discipline in our comprehensive schools?]

BERNARD: Yes. HUMPHREY: Do you think young people welcome some authority and leadership in their lives?

BERNARD: Yes. HUMPHREY: Do you think they respond to a challenge?

BERNARD: Yes. HUMPHREY: Would you be in favour of reintroducing national service?

BERNARD: ...Oh. Well, I suppose I might be.

HUMPHREY: Yes or no?

BERNARD: Yes.

...

HUMPHREY: Mr Woolley, are you worried about the danger of war?

BERNARD: Yes. HUMPHREY: Are you worried about the growth of armaments?

BERNARD: Yes.

HUMPHREY: Do you think there's a danger in giving young people guns and teaching them how to kill?

BERNARD: Yes.

HUMPHREY: Do you think it's wrong to force people to take up arms against their will?

BERNARD: Yes.

HUMPHREY: Would you oppose the reintroduction of national service?

BERNARD: Yes.

...

FINAL QUESTION: Are you more worried about the rise in crime among teenagers or about the growth of armaments?

POTENTIAL FINAL ANSWERS: The rise in crime among teenagers / The growth of armaments / Undecided between the two.
