From any poll they want. Some of them will cite a specific poll, others will make claims based on garbage polls. Here is a nice joke about Actuaries (who are statisticians basically). CEO calls the CFO into his office and asks "what is 2+2?" - Answer 4 CEO calls the chief engineer into his office with the same question - Answer 4 CEO calls the actuary into his office and asks the same question. Actuary closes the blinds and whispers back "what do you want it to be?"
