Whether or not you agree with the survey questions or response or with Nate's analysis of them, that is the conclusion that he drew from the data and he doesn't need a citation to state his conclusion. If I say "There are three people in the room. I opened the door and saw three people" you don't say I need a citation to state my conclusion that "There are three people in the room", I have already explained how I arrived that that conclusion.
