There's usually a relatively high percentage of people with problems on community forums. The majority of people who's iLiads are working perfectly wouldn't have as much reason to be searching for places like this. It's not really a random sampling, you're getting a much higher number of "problem" users. So, no, a poll like this isn't really statistically useful.
The best source of this info would be iRex, assuming you trust their answer. Another option would be to go to a retailer that sells them and find out what their percentage of returns or support calls are. If I remember correctly, Tribble has said before that the number of broken screens his customers have complained about are a very small percentage of his total sales.
