I often see polls qualified like the following example:

This poll, conducted among 1,125 respondents, is accurate plus or minus 4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
These are usually national polls, and the number of respondents to be statistically accurate (usually around 1,200) to between plus or minus 4 percentage points doesn't seem to be very high.

WDE.
