Oh, that's a bit strong.  It would still have some meaning, just not 
one that's useful ;-)  The question is: is it an unbiased sample of 
those who would vote in a GR on this issue?  It probably isn't too far

And, in a futile attempt to head off the inevitable:

From WordNet (r) 1.7 :

  consensus
       n : agreement of the majority in sentiment or belief [syn: 
general
           agreement]
