I know the poll is far from perfect. But it is the best we have and it is a
better basis for decision than somebody's guess which has no roots in
reality at all.
And unlike your motorcycle example, there is no provable bias into either
direction. All you can say is that the results MAY be false due to imperfect
methodology, you can't prove they are.
