Not asking anything at all from this. Just explaining that there's not much point in worrying about the sample size or how representative it is, as this is not something that could be considered even slightly statistically rigorous. One must be cautious about putting weight on the results of a straw poll.
As a (very) blunt instrument, though, the straw poll does have some value in guestimating the general strength of opinion at the extremities, which is all that's really needed in this exercise.
