fyi....statistics are based on random mathematical sampling and don't require "large" samples in order to be on target. The entire marketing industry that is responsible for the movement of billions of dollars in the consumption of goods and services will be sad to hear from you that they've been doing it all wrong for years. Maybe you should write them a letter and educate them. Maybe they should stand outside a Casey's store and ask people coming out from buying their pack of Dorals...?

You missed the point - the final election with two candidates - only 24% of the US population voted for Trump...and about the same for Clinton - because so many people sat out the election
And yes I understand statistics of marketing and random sampling...however when you miss 52% of your target sample group completely you might be off a little
