I realize it's a bit of a paranoid idea, and you might want to laugh at these people, but I can't blame two senior citizens for believing that something like that could happen. Hasn't CNN threatened to dox people before? I strongly suspect people are now, more than ever, lying to pollsters, because they see businesses burning on the TV, people getting fired, and they're scared that if they answer the wrong way, someone will come after them.

Can we really say that the media conducting these polls are above that?

Don't get complacent. I remember 2012 and the "unskew the polls" meme. Turned out the polls were pretty close to the reported results.
