The 571 people polled is made up of the same % of white, black, hispanic, etc that's in America. In polls you don't want to oversample or undersample as well. Not really the size, but it's really based on the correct method. Political Science 101. And PPP is a scientific polling agency that has been doing this for a while, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Wrong, more numbers gives a more accurate result.
I fail to see the problems of oversampling bar time and money.
Polls are so stupid, unless you poll everyone then you will never have any idea about what people in general actually think.
