Well, scientifically speaking, 2000 participants is more than enough for a reasonably accurate poll on this topic. What's that you say? You're not interested in the science of determining sample size? You prefer to go with your personal opinion? No problem. For those who are interested, here's an article on this:

The population in this poll consisted of "U.S. residents." Let's assume that means adults. There are about 258 million adults in the US. You can use this rough calculator to figure out how many people you would need to survey to get a reasonably accurate answer to the survey question (5% margin of error):

Using that calculator, the required sample size is 385.
The poll found that 63% of participants had excluded unvaccinated family members from their holiday gatherings this year.
Now, why would it upset you to hear that? Can it be because you want us to believe that the majority of Americans share your views of the pandemic and you fear you're actually in the minority?
