That "poll" should have been conducted with people who at least went to high school before they start babbling about the state of our education system. Young hoodlums who dropped out of school and are slinging crack can't be used as "proof" of anything except their own criminality.

We have no idea where ABC conducted that "poll".
Did they ask 1000 random people in the ghetto of Detroit? Or did they ask 1000 random people in Silicone Valley.
The results would vary greatly.
Usually these kind of studies have good coverage; as that is the whole point. It is supposed to cover every demographics. If your country is so fucked up that you have to hand pick people to get satisfactory results; it ain't the study's fault. This study wasn't about education system, it was about Americans science knowledge.
