You need to take a course in marketing, and optionally, another in statistics if you really think polls need to survey 50% of the population to be "significant". Or even if you think they need to survey 1% of the population. Even if you have never heard of statistics and how a poll is conducted, try to understand that Gallup and Zogby International know a bit more than yourself about what constitutes a "significant" survey population. Sorry but I have no more time to waste on this subject. I showed you that "1,000 people surveyed" is quite normal for polls. I don't have time for the "LOL!" etc that appears to be following.
