I would think that if they willfully mislead about their internals and methodology they would be liable for a lawsuit for fraud. IMHO, considering how much polls are used to influence the political landscape, it’s way past time for a law to be passed that mandates each polling firm to publish their methodology and statistical analysis with each poll, and to be liable for huge fines and possible criminal prosecution for fraud if they provide false information.
