If you wanted to know the answer, you'd seek out the answer. But you don't want to know; you just tell yourself "can't trust the polls!" and feel smarter for it.
Of course I'd like to know the answers. In seeking them, I began by asking you. It appears the polling results you've provided don't seem to include this information.
At the very least I might be better informed, if not smarter, with the questions answered. I think they're fair questions.
"Computer programmers argued the 150 (yr old) figure was not evidence of fraud but rather the result of a weird quirk of the SSA’s benefits system—largely written in COBOL—a 60-year-old programming language that undergirds SSA’s databases as well as systems from many other US gov't agencies."

No one answers unknown calls. Online polls are easily hacked.
Who are these people they've polled?

Thanks. I did read how YouGov designs and manages their polling process. Screening participants certainly helps refine accuracy.
While not wholly debunking online polling or even YouGov polling, this Pew Research article is informative.

Or rephrased for Musk not doing that, whatever.
