That doesn’t matter as long as the polling is done properly. 800 is more than large enough +-4%.

I agree the sample size is adequate if the sample is truly representative of the population. In terms of statistical theory, I'd be much more concerned with the abysmal response rates that the polling organizations are getting. The non-respondents are in all likelihood systematically different than the respondents which raises serious questions about a tainted sample.
