just a quick point here; 1.2K is highly statistically significant, even for a national level poll/survey. The issue here is the potential for selection bias, which seems primarily to be driven by people who want to do the survey not sure how this ultimately skews the results but 1.2K is easily an adequate sample size

Looka like they just asked their target audience. Which is highly biased, to say the least. And renders their large sample almost useless.

I'd wager at least 90% of the survey respondents are Americans or live in the US, so that already skews the data a ton!
