You are simply wrong. I'm not going to explain statistics and sampling theory to you. Your handwaving arguments are no substitute for the 150 years of research on sampling. I'm not a statistician in the purest sense, but much of my work involves computing the confidence intervals and margin of error based on sample size, which is something I have a lot of experience with. The 99% you're talking about is the confidence interval, and you are conflating that with margin of error. Quite frankly, you don't know what you're talking about on this subject.
Nielsen's claim of a 99% confidence interval is accurate based on a sample of 20,000 households, and that's way, way, way more than they actually need to achieve that level of confidence. But I'm not going to convince anybody that is incapable of distinguishing suspicion from evidence.
Edit: Just took a look at those pictures. That's not evidence of anything except a lack of understanding of how polls are conducted.
I took a break from my work-cation to post this, so I hope you're all happy, all of you in the gallery.
