The article says, “More than 135 million Americans SAY ...”. That is a straight-out falsehood. The true statement is that around 560 people said, and those people, as well as the around 440 who said they had been on vacation, were not a statistical microcosm of the United States. They were simply 1,000 people who answered their phones and didn’t hang up when they realized it was a poll.

The full context:
More than 135 million Americans, or 56%, say they haven't taken a vacation in the last 12 months, compared to 126 million Americans, or 52%, who reported going without a vacation for a year in 2014, according to a telephone survey of 1,000 Americans.
The people who hanged up for whatever reason are as irrelevant as those who did not answer the phone... for whatever reason.

You must not accept any poll. Thanks for posting.
