Hm.. I worked on a piece of software with similar needs of polling random people for their opinion. Have you considered using Amazon Mechanical Turk?

I imagine some bias would be there, but probably manageable. In return you'd get the ability to poll way more than 50 people for a very reasonable price.

It says on their site they are using Mechanical Turk:

Thanks! This is why I keep saying that all my good ideas are already taken! ;)
