Reaction to the poll was mixed, but many criticized the organization for the speculative nature of the tweet.

@wikileaks you're still couching the pneumonia in inverted commas. This doesn't come down to a single Twitter poll.

SEE ALSO: Hackers have found a way to turn WikiLeaks into a weapon

WikiLeaks has had its share of involvement with Clinton this campaign season, leaking a slew of DNC emails just before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in late July. Among the leaks were emails that detailed the acrimonious split between the Democratic National Committee and Clinton's former rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders. The emails eventually forced Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down as chairwoman of the DNC.

While some have questioned the connection between Wikileaks and Russia, and, specifically, Russian hackers in the case of the DNC leak, the organization has denied any connection and no evidence supporting the speculation has been produced.
