What would you say are the benefits of syndicalism over socialism?
Do current syndicalist theories in any way mitigate libertarian complaints about unions, or do they rather oppose the validity of those complaints in all their forms?
Is there a better question I should have question?

Of course they do; the law of averages supports that.

Poll numbers aren't random so even if the law of averages could be applied to a small data set...

If not random, they are indicative (if not necessary conclusive,) and the data set is large enough.

Let me rephrase: the law of averages is a belief. You are basing your conclusion on a belief.

After 136 trials the DEFAULT assumption no longer applies in the face of ample hard data.

The more lopsided/large the trial, the more LIKELY the coin is unfair;weight is the only way to KNOW
