Nice large poll. Really nailed the entire country.

It's not the size of the sample that should concern you. 360 some respondents is sufficient to make decent statistical inferences. What would be important to know is how the sample was selected. Self-selected samples tend to be skewed, often in ways that can affect the validity of the results.
