If the poll is somehow perfectly accurate then 50% of ~800 Million is still a pretty decent userbase.
But if Google give Facebook a chance to fearmonger about how Google+ users risk losing all Google services (including gmail history) without warning while simultaneously not allowing anyone with a Google Apps account to access the service without really cumbersome workarounds then Google+ will be remembered just like Google Wave is.

Maybe they are doing lots of advertising in the states, however here in the UK I'm pretty sure I could ask most non-techies and they wouldn't have even heard of Google+. It's the one thing that's going to make it tough to beat facebook now is that it's become a household name - most people have heard of it even if they haven't been on the site.

I am still astonished to see grown-up companies with functional websites driving traffic to "their" out-of-control Facebook pages even with full page ads. If Google+ would appeal for marketing purposes, I bet it'll gain at least as much popularity in a blink of an eye.
