Depends on how the 1000 people were chosen.

Professional pollsters have been doing this kind of thing for awhile, and know the permutations and characteristics involved in determining representation of the masses.

And the Pew Research Center is one of those professional pollster-type groups. I'd take their results as scientifically-based.

And, aside from that... yeah, it is interesting.
