          If I go to the bar at 11 PM and ask who wants another beer I can’t then go on to say 70% of the population at all times wants another beer.

          Think about who answers polls?

          Have you ever answered a poll? Ever been asked? I didn’t think so.

            Thanks for the basic lesson on sample bias. You do know that good polls address bias, right? Also, sample sizes can be quite small and still represent populations, so not having been polled doesn’t mean anything.
