In 2007, the Oklahoma Poll that showed Taylor with a 55% favorability rating was based on a poll size of 500, that's less than 0.1% of the reported census estimate of 384,037 for the City of Tulsa.  The sample size reflects a 0.2% sample of the estimated 215,000 registered voters in the City of Tulsa.  That poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.37 percent based on the small sample size.
I suggest you not talk about polling until you learn about statistical sampling.

I'm trying to recall, but isn't it a number around 30 participants that considered a fair sample?

It depends on how you select your sample.
