Come on man!! You have made some valid points throughout your argument, but even in the face of indisputable evidence you are in denial!!
The stats aren't meaningless, and the survey to measure his popularity was the Q Score
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Score
which is a highly regarded and universally used method for gauging popularity
Secondly, if the Q score sample size was really 1,000 people (which I highly doubt it was since the majority of sample sizes even for presidential polling tend to fall in the 500 person range) the margin of error would be ±3.2% !!
That's science bro jackson!!
