The scientific polls may in fact be biased, but this video does not demonstrate it. Assuming that the sampling is properly done, you don’t need large sample sizes to accurately measure the opinion of the U.S. as a whole. See article on sample sizes by Robert Niles for an explanation.

Straw poll participants are not randomly selected, and are _not_ representative of the population as a whole. I encourage everyone to read this article about how opinion polls work.
