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.

I don't believe this is a representative sample, but not because of the sample size. Stay in your lane, high school level science education.

High school statistics covers sampling just fine. Some people weren't paying attention.

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

I've heard "speak American" coming out of one's mouth once.

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

It appears to be an online poll which wouldn’t have proper sampling

That's a vastly better critique than just whining about the sample size.
