these surveys are meaning-less What the actual number you have to care about is new subscribers. New subscribers to AT&T for iphone 4 was less than 10% last quarter. Carriers will always choose those devices that they 'think' can give a new subscribers rate boost, hence Nokia failing in the US for some time with out-of-date-ui. If Verizon iphone results in 10% or more new subscribers than Verizon made the right decision as they still will than have the new subscriber rate from android sales as well. If the rate does not get higher than 10% than Verizon iPhone move is a loss for Verizon counting the subsidies it pays to Apple. Conversely AT&T will now use android to increase their new subscriber rates. Also, in that mix android has LTE devices coming and Apple still has not launched an LTE iphone.
