He's technically not wrong.

But to get *RULE* by a minority, they have to vote and be a minority. You can identify, but if you don't vote, you don't have a chance at shaping the field. And when we vote in presidential elections, it used to be that in around 12% of the elections, the majority vote was not reflected by the electoral college. Now the percentage has gone up. So in 12 % of the elections we did have the minority come to rule by the electoral college - and in those times, Republicans won.

Surveying the population is good, but the vote is much more of a determiner I think.
