Sadly, 1000 is on the high end for polls like this.

I've seen far more conclusive sounding headlines in this sub based on polls of fewer than 200 individuals.

I do statistical analysis on a daily basis. Not only are polls crap, but you can skew any data to be relevant to your point. It's all nonsense.

Yup. Modern polls are tools for driving public opinion, not measuring it.
