Totally incorrect about the first statement. The margin of error is (currently 913 votes), at the 95% confidence level, 0.98/sqrt(913) ~ 0.03 = 3%.
Now, whether it's a representative sample of anything is a totally separate question (and that's been my point all along). At best it's possibly representative on ENWorld posters who care to vote on
4E-based polls.
One last time, and I'll boil it down to a true-or-false question. True/false: Is the following, and only the following, a legitimate criticism of the poll's level of confidence?

And yet another word from our sponsors
