Of all.

Do you understand how polling works? You do not need to poll every citizen. If done with big enough sample it means "of all" with maybe couple points error margin.

Of course that does not mean this exact poll was done with big enough sample, but most of them usually are, unless someone is deliberately wanting to push twisted numbers.
