    It seems to me you should decide upon your sample in advance and then meet it. Why 324 (rather than 300 or 350)?

        @SharylAttkisson I think most polls "groom" their samples, either by culling questions or demographic queries.

        @SharylAttkisson Maybe several poll-takers are out simultaneously? When they gather results, they just make sure it's over 300?

        @SharylAttkisson Lots of folks use the minimum regardless of what it looks like.

        @SharylAttkisson Statistically you work backwards from desired accuracy to minimum sample size.

        @SharylAttkisson Even more skewing are those who don't answer polls accurately because they don't like polls or try to please the poll taker

        @SharylAttkisson They do decide on a sample size! That's how many they poll; then they know the minimum response rate needed for validity.

        @SharylAttkisson Probably based on how much sample size client willing to pay for, time constraints and minimum actuarial needs.
