Alt title: Have they tried calling their Representatives tho?

Smug doge and kid thinking hard playing chess. Above the kid is written "fascists destroying democracy," while below the doge is "liberals knowing it's a distraction from the Epstein files."

Margin of error assumes the sampling is random and representative, which of course is very hard to achieve in practice and especially with a laughably small sample size. Not really some magic number of truth as you'd like to present it.

    You can start making statistical conclusions from as few as 3 samples and from around 30 you're only getting square root improvements in margin of error. 600+ respondents is more than enough if there's no selection bias, which I'd trust YouGov to be able to handle.
