I don't believe there was any formal survey done. The information that is quoted is actually about 40 years old. It was included in the report "A Metric America: A Decision Whose Time Has Come" which was originally published in 1968 I believe. The report was published by the Department of Commerce after a 3 year study based upon authorization from Congress.
