In order for any poll to have even the smallest amount of validity is to have surveyed a huge number of people. a few hundred out of a given population of say several thousand really doesn't reflect the overal opinion of said population. Furthermore, polls can be manipulated so easily, for example, by asking specific people that you have a feeling will give you a particular answer or by wording the question in a way that would give a particular answer. I never trust polls that claim to represent an entire nation because there's no way you could take an accurate and unbiased poll on such a huge scale.
