Original Note:
Statistically, a poll of just 1000 people lets you get a good estimate of what the population thinks overall, with a margin of error of about 3% (in practice the margin of error can be higher, but a bigger sample size still wouldn't make the poll much more accurate) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/howcan-a-poll-of-only-100/ https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/06/upshot/when-you-hear-the-margin-of-error-is-plus-or-minus-3-percent-think-7-instead.html
