Re: manipulating polls - the issue is proving malicious intent when they can just claim ignorance. That's generally how people like that get away with this sort of thing. It might be clear as day to us as laymen but, when you have to prove it in a court or law, needing to prove that they intended to falsify information becomes tricky.

Re: taking polls seriously - while folks on Reddit and maybe Twitter might not take them seriously (for good reason, though all data sets are valid to one degree or another) the vast majority of the electorate isn't, well, us. The majority of voting age people pay little to no attention and, more often than not, make their decision on what to vote on when filling out their ballots. Those folks are swayed by polling information they hear on local news and TV commercials about propositions or individuals running for office to vote on.

So, yes, polling and the quick, bite-sized sound clips and other easily-digestible bits of politics sway millions of voters every year and probably did account for Hillary losing in 2016. Good luck proving anyone did it with malice, though.
