Given the statement you made at the top that the survey is "unscientific"
and makes no claims to "authority or objectivity" (which scientific
results would never claim, either, but that's a different discussion),
this conclusion seems unwarranted.  Considering the extremely small number
of votes, it seems odd to say that this means something about preferences
in "the CEDA-L community."

P.S. Kudos to Tuna for posting his preferences.
