The combined population of those 12 states is 197,027,223 people
The poll queried 8,086 people overall
That's 0.0041% of the the combined populations of all 12 states.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable sample size for something like that.

What sort of sample size do you think they should have used?

The "spin" here seems to be coming from those who don't like results.

How about 8,087?
