They surveyed 800 voters in each state. Michigan alone has 10 million people. That’s a 0.00008 percent population sample.

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

“They surveyed 800 voters in each state. Michigan alone has 10 million people. That’s a 0.00008 percent population sample.”

The number of people isn’t the problem, here. It’s which people they sampled. Registered or likely voters, how many D/R/I, etc. If they could truly get 800 people at random the result should be fairly accurate. If they properly calculate proportions of D/R/I they can get additional accuracy. That’s not what they do, though. They cherry-pick people to get results they want and they use non-representative proportions to bias the outcome. But, again, 800 is a decent sample size, other considerations aside.
