There are two polls in the post. You're referring to the first, which
the author asked viewers to fill out before reading any of the
"evidence".
There's another poll at the end, which the author asked viewers to
fill out after reading the whole post. In that poll, preference
changed (56% to 44% in favor of underscore).
A followup post summarized later research, confirming the earlier
result that CamelCase'd names are harder to read (as measured by eye
tracking studies):
