If it was done properly, it could be quite accurate, actually. Most polls/surveys go for the 1000 person sample size.
Google turns up a nice blog post on the issue:

Of course, there are lots of mistakes which might have been made in the execution which might give inaccurate results, but a sample size of 1000 isn't one of them.
