Actually, .0000001% of the US population would be less than one person.

According to the article cited, the poll has a margin of error of 5.4%;
so we can expect a 95% chance that, for example, between 32.6% and
43.4% of the population the sample was selected from use unencrypted
wireless networks.  It is a statistically valid sample size.

In any case, consumer host security is a very real problem.
