As several others (not all extremely vocal, though a visible minority) have said, that poll was very poorly designed. It was written to force your desired answer, and fails to make any point except that "good survey design is hard." I'd like to see the results of a well-designed survey on the subject, particularly if it is answered by a random group of people who haven't necessarily been privy to the ongoing debates -- optimally including people from a range of industries and disciplines, academic and otherwise... Unfortunately, good survey is to me like much product design was to Steve Jobs. I know it when I see it, and I can provide useful tweaks, but I am hard-pressed to spec it out beforehand.
