Sample size is 645 people - I don't think that's large enough to mean anything.

It depends on how they drew the sample. It's certainly large enough, statistically speaking.
Also says it's an "online survey." So it has a self-selection bias. In order to be useful, the survey would have to be from a random sampling of people. Calling folks on the phone is the best way to accomplish this.
Not to mention almost half of respondents said they have no opinion yet. Title seems a bit misleading in my view.
Traitor: 23% ± 4.4%. Patriot: 31% ± 4.4%. Hmm.
