For this forum (where there is a relatively small group discussing whith new people coming and going) I think 83 is a lot. Let's say the core amount of ppl here is 100. The poll shows 83% for a change of shove according to the 5e rules. 3% against a change and 14% not participating in the poll.
That is a clear result, better than most polls you have nowadays and far from beeing a joke. If there were 1000 ppl active in this forum i would agree to your opinion about it being a joke.
80 people is a perfectly fine sample size for a total population of 1000. It gives a not-amazing ~10% margin-of-error, but that still means anywhere from 76-96% favor changing shove = a strong (super)majority.
There are of course asterisks involving selection bias, etc, but given that we don't
know those biases, we have to use what we have. Maybe double our uncertainty range.
