And? People shouldn't be using that as proof. 

Why? Becuase of the 'small' poll number? I'm guessing both sides of this election used polls and numbers lower than that for their statistics. Just making the point that 1000 is a standard number for polls (as apatheticly as possible). 100,000 people, 100 people as long as the poll is fair and a good sample diversity it can be taken as a valid portrayal of paterns. Take 1000 people poll from a university campus only or a retirement homes only, it won't be a fair sample.



Hmm, pie.
