Not true, the self-selection involved in the make up of the crowd means it's not a random sampling; your margin of error would be huge no matter how big your sample.

I am not a polling guru (and like everyone hated statistics). I was just thinking if you sample EVERYONE, than you would have an accurate reprentation of the opinion of those in attendance. But then I remembered all of these other big words that make me stand corrected in the presence of your statistical sampling knowledge!!!
