It doesn't seem too representative, that equates to less than 1k per country. Also, the age range is quite small. Still worrisome. To be frank, given recent events and geopolitical tensions, people are divided on this matter.

Accuracy depends only on sample size, not the total population size. A 1k sample gives you a 95% confidence interval [1].
