Says a lot about those "statistics". 50 people isn't a good enough sample size. They probably need at least 100K to truly have a representative sample.

Anything over 2000 can potentialy be an accurate, representative sample. 100k is asking a little much

Fixed it.  It all depends on how the sample is chosen

They only use about 2000 respondents in presidential elections, and those numbers are pretty accurate within a *" "*/-2% margin of error

Edit: why won't a plus sign show up?

That's true, and it's because the companies that do those official polls try very hard to get a sample group that's representative of the entire population.  Not just any 2000 people will cut it...
