I’d expect college students to be more likely to have heard that even real lie detectors aren’t accurate.
Sure, but “more likely” here means a base rate of maybe 1% instead of a base rate of maybe 0.1%. Either way, the fact that they even mentioned lie detection is likely to scare people into telling the truth whether or not they believe (as opposed to alieve) that lie detectors work.

Good point about alief vs. belief about lie detectors.
My guess would be an order of magnitude larger than that (but still much less than 50%).
