Miniscule sample size if I recall correctly. That generally doesn't bode well for overall accuracy.

Yes, and usually they only ask... let's try find the correct word..... older people. So it's not very accurate-Sorry!

Yep very small sample size - 306 people is no more representative than the DS Poll, which we know famously isn't representative at all.

It is "representative" as they weight the data demographically..

I have given up on looking on that site as I don't think have got anything right in regards to who goes. Katie wasn't exactly popular on that site and she only went last week.

If you look at the post from this time last week, Survation predicted Katie had the least votes.

You are right that Katie was never popular among Survation responders but you'll know from watching the show she was regularly in the bottom 2.
