So 1,038 people represent the population?
Where were the people? Was it a selection of people from the one city / state? Or was it across multiple states? Were they east / west coast? Northern and Southern states? Race / gender / demographics blah de blah blah - that poll is worthless.
There was a university professor in Western Australia who labeled all Australians as racist on Australia Day because she polled 100 or so people at an Australia Day celebration in WA in 2012. This was then spewed all over the news and the idiots did not even take one second to actually look at how the stats were collected.
Adding 'random' does not automatically make the poll accurate.
