No, that thing is just wrong. They “interviewed” two groups of 1000 people online who had opted into their “panel”. Either they’re lying about bias, or they were scammed.
The easiest giveaway is the “40% of adults are veterans” number. The average American is well aware that almost half their aquientances are not veterans.
The U.S. Census Bureau did an online poll of 1000 people? Where did you find that information? Even the short description lists 3 sources by name. But yeah people guessing 30% of the population lives in NYC is crazy. Strange guesses
I urge anyone who doubts these results to test them on people they know. Yes, Americans, even those with college degrees, are incomprehensibly ignorant.

They listed sources for the “True Proportion”, but not the estimates. It doesn’t actually say who they asked for the “Estimated Proportion” figures.
