I thought it was a small sample as well Steve but checking it out, it's not people in each city, it's 1000 people all over the U.S (which is still a small sample IMHO). It's just a perception survey. Here's the methodology, I thought it was an interesting survey that, if anything, could spark serious analysis:

Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 3-27, 2023, with a random sample of 1,015 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Each city was rated by a random half-sample of approximately 500 adults.

For results based on these samples of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 80% cellphone respondents and 20% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.

In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
