What if our polls got hacked...Not to be disparaging of pollsters.. that is a tough job in my opinion..BUT [View all]

all of the current news about the Russians, Chinese and India also interfering with our elections.. would it be possible for a foreign actor or even a hacker from the US figure out a way to mess with polls..

Since nearly all of us are on cell phones now.. and I certainly do not get calls from pollsters anymore.. and as some in here have explained to me that a lot of this polling is online..would it be possible for some group to co-ordinate to impact polls in someway.. pretend that they are someone they are not etc etc..

What got me thinking about this is France.. their polls our polls everyone's polls show Le Pen winning and it went the other way.. they were shocked..

Would that not be the perfect way to interfere with an election..

I do not know if it is even possible..but when you think of where some of these hackers have been able to get into .. seems something like polling infor would be very easy to impact
