nnm··on Americans from Both Political Parties Overwhelmingly Support Net Neutrality
Good point. On the other hand, the confidence interval I provided is correct as long as the original survey and the repeat are sampled in the same way (regardless whether it is un-biased sampling or not)
nnm··on Americans from Both Political Parties Overwhelmingly Support Net Neutrality
1000 is enough for this case.

Depends on how "accurate" you want to measure a ratio. Here the ratio is the percentage of Americans that support net neutrality.

In this case, sample size is 1000, estimated ratio is 76%, the 95% confidence interval is 76% +/- 2.65%, which means if you repeat this survey again, you have a 95% chance that new estimated ratio is within 76% +/- 2.65%.

Edit: 99% confidence interval is 76% +/- 3.48%
