1000 is an average poll sample, what are you guys going on about
Oops. I misunderstood you.
But in a population of 315 million, you need a larger sampling size than 1000 to get an accurate result. Especially when the population is as diverse as the American population. And when you only base your facts on phone calls, you are likely to exclude certain parts of the population. Like adolescents or businessmen who don't have time to take a survey on the phone. There's also a chance you get a large amount of housewives and retired. That means your results will be biased.
Just a bit of statistical nitpicking.
like that means anything? it's our country
Yeah, but if you decide to go to war or forget up your economy, it will have consequences for the rest of the world as well.
