"60000 households out of 270 million people represents .0022 % of the United States - hardly a repesentative sample."

your logic is a bit flawed, you think that each household contains only one person?

also a representative sample would be one that accurately refelcts the country at large, it could be much smaller than 60,000 and still be representative.


someone sounds like they are a pessimist

Even if you doubled the percentage it is still hardly a representative sample.

It sounds like someone is willing to believe anything.
