> Of course, the refrain I often hear is that as long as you pick the RIGHT 1,000 Americans, it's as good as polling all 319 million.
If it's a proper random sample, then it's far better than sampling all 319 million because it's 95% accurate with about a 3% margin of error and vastly cheaper and actually practical; you can't poll 319 million people.
