The paper

Edit: the article might be misrepresenting the study and its findings, so it’s worth checking the paper itself. (See @realChem 's comment in the thread).

      100% has a margin of error in millions, or tens of, depending on interpretation.

        For most purposes, a 5% margin of error is considered acceptable. Since some quick websearch estimates 336M people, if up to ~17M people are informed, you can still claim that 100% is misinformed.

        (But then, if you actually know how many people are informed, your acceptable margin of error falls down considerably.)
