100% of people I interviewed today named me as the next preferred Prime 
Minister. This clearly shows demand for my services. Unfortunately my 
children have a vested interest in answering 'yes' to my survey.

I doubt that your 'demand' is based on a representative sample of those that 
AUDA do represent.

I suggest some light reading on the history of the Gallup Poll .

Gallup sent out hundreds of interviewers across the country, each of whom 
was given quotas for different types of respondents; so many middle-class 
urban women, so many lower-class rural men, and so on. Gallup's team 
conducted some 3,000 interviews, but nowhere near the 10 million polled that 
year by the Digest.
