This poll is inaccurate for many reasons:
- Poll audience is skewed (PCMag readership, people who showed up on the site that day)
- Just because people want to move to G+, doesn't mean they will, unless the rest of their social group does (again, back to point#1)
Not saying that Google + wont do well, or anything just that this poll is pretty much useless as reliable source to base any predictions on.
I would look at things like user engagement, activity etc - this is extremely anecdotal, but so far a lot of my circles (except for my close friends one) have been spammy with poor content filtering (facebook is good about surfacing posts from people i care about, but then again they have a lot more data about who i 'care' about)
My close friends circle has been pretty inactive and I check it maybe once a week, but that might be because there's only 30 people there. Most of my G+ activity over the last week has consisted largely of adding people into circles, and not much else, sadly.
I would also add that my social circles probably have a larger proportion of early adopters than the average user, since I studied programming & work in the software industry (and my social circles tend to reflect that).
I must admit I am also really nervous about merging my social & online identities into one account owned by one company, though the average person would not care about this.
