You're not wrong here, and you raise a good point. I do wish I had a larger sample size. But that turned out not to be the case, and responses had pretty much stopped coming in by the time yesterday came around, so I had to run with these results. Also, when I said that EricH's prediction had been "correct," I meant that the general point of his prediction- that results would be skewed towards the US- was correct. I should have specified this in the original post.

And I still think that point pans out. While the US did under perform, as you noted, it still took a much larger chunk of the pie than anyone else did. 79.8% of the responses were from the United States. Even if that is much less than 95%, the number EricH predicted, it still blows out the second biggest chunks of repondants- Canada and Israel, both with 5%.

If the US's 79.8% was much less than expected, I think this can be attributed to the relatively small sample size. If I had more responses, I think the results would be much closer to 95%.
