    Divide by the square root of the sample size. N = 30 is pretty good.

    thats like saying the poll of 5000 votes also has to be done 5000 times. nonsensical.

    Uh - it's quite simple, the more votes, the more accurate - it tends towards a true reflection of what is considered 'normal', but will never get there, unless somehow you get six billion-odd votes. Nothing magic or even statistically interesting will happen at 5,000.
