    The sample size was 1229 people for this “survey”. With something as polarizing as this subject is, I HIGHLY doubt that 1200 people accurately reflect the attitude of the ENTIRE country. but think what you want, free country and all.

      1200 is a little light but not outside the norm. 1500-3000 participants is bog standard for a population the size of the US. Much more is really overkill and a waste of money. You really are popping a blood vessel over the last decimal point of accuracy.

        jfc, no one is ‘popping a blood vessel’. if I call 3000 people in the US South, I’m going to get a far different opinion on something than if i call 3000 people in the Pac NW.
