'News' organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox and Magazines such as People, Time, Life and etc poll people weekly. And their numbers are clearly cited every time. They usually range between 500-5000. Its impossible to have polls above that or else you get into 'cencus' territory which takes an entire company to run and in itself becomes inaccurate because there's too many variables.
In my opinion however, polls are kind of broken (and stupid) on both ends of the spectrum. Kind of like elections. The only real way to know the populations option is to ask every single person their feelings and put up a list of the top 5 answers. Not ask people a list of 20 questions and put up a pie chart and say 'we have a definitive answer of peoples views' (as places like CNN and gamefaws seems to do every day).
