That is certainly true.
In your simulation, between the vertical polarization and the horizontal
polarization in their respective maximum directions, which was stronger?

... Obtained by NEC simulation for the AX1 installed at 4 feet above
average ground: If you place yourself in front of the antenna and in
the direction of the 13' horizontal counterpoise, the signal received
will only be vertically polarized for all takeoff angles.
But if you test it in a different direction, the polarization becomes
oblique. At 90 degrees from the direction of the counterpoise, the
components of the signal received will be mostly horizontally
polarized for a takeoff angle of 32 degrees or more and at lower
angles, the vertical component is higher.
So depending of the azimuth, the main 'contributor' to the
polarization will be the vertical or the counterpoise ...
