And likely voters is a problem too.

For a national poll, 1k people gives a result with a margin of error of around 3% which is decent enough and is actually pretty standard.
Having likely voters is actually done for more representativeness because only interrogating people who are sure to go vote can skew the result (these people are more politically involved, older, more educated...).
