30% is a statistically significant portion. It seems to me very likely that just as many hold the same views in the population.

It's not a statistically random selection though. See the 1936 Literary Digest presidential election poll. (They polled 1/4th of the total number of eligible voters, and of that number almost 1/4th responded. They were off by a 19% absolute polling error.)
