Back in the ‘90’s, some group calling itself the “Jewish People Planning Policy Institute” published their own survey, based on random phone calls they made (“Good evening, this is the National Jewish Population Survey, may we have 45 minutes of your time as you are sitting down to dinner, to ask you a whole bunch of personal questions about your Jewish identity?”). They claimed the Orthodox population and particularly the Hasidic population, was insignificant and shrinking.

Of course you have to consider their sampling population consisted entirely of people who agreed to take a 45-minute telemarketing survey.
