There are several factors which bias this poll:
* GNOME 3 is the default in Fedora, so of course more Fedora users will be
using it, merely due to the fact that it is the default.
* Some people actually left Fedora over GNOME 3.
* Conversely, and perhaps even more importantly, many (possibly even most)
GNOME 3 users are actually using Fedora now, because Fedora is universally
recommended to people wanting to try GNOME 3 as the distro with the best
GNOME 3 support.

If you do a poll across users of all distributions, you get very different results:

and I believe the results for Fedora would be very different as well if we
picked a different default.
