    Ah yes, 2,313 people, otherwise known as a representative sample 350 million.

    Edit: I’m not respond to the morons who think someone’s FB status poll is representative of America.

      2000 can absolutely be a representative sample size. The bigger worry here is sampling bias rather than sample size.

      You know there will be plenty of Americans who think their numbers are American and not Arabic.

      This fucking comment on every single poll result. Consider learning even the tiniest bit about how statistical sampling works.

      I don’t think a more representative sample would improve the ratio, tbh

      I’ve been seeing this one for years, are we even sure it was ever a real thing and not just a meme about the “dihydrogen monoxide” science word scary type reactionary movement?

        It most definitely is. The fact isAmerica is either smart enough to run the largest empire ever, or the world is dumb enough to let them do it. Personally, I’d like to think the rest of the world is also smart.

      I agree this isn’t representative. But i would argue there was no need for a poll to determine what percentage of americans would have said no.

      It would likely be fifty-seven percent. Or LVII per centum
