The previous one can be counted as statistically representative based on the number of respondents. The only thing to examine would he how they phrased the question and how respondents were chosen (random calling or from a list of people who had previously signed up to be polled).
The CTV poll would be useless because it is so vulnerable to organized vote manipulation (AO/CGN threads). Not only that, but CTV can see where the majority of votes are coming from when sites like AO, GOC and CGN organized a vote stuffing campaign and link to the poll. If you see 5000 hits from a single site, it’s a pretty good indication for CTV that they are being compromised
