That’s really a generic poll question.

Try “how political polls work” in a search engine.

A large number of people are quizzed at random, then the sample is narrowed down by demographics and other question responses. Polls rely on people being truthful.

I know how they work and that's my point.

Quinnipiac did not narrow down from a very large random sample to get their list of 574.

They just made a statement of: "574 likely Republican Caucus Goers" with no mention of how they developed that list.

A more reliable, scientific survey would start with 5-8000 random numbers in Iowa.
