We've posted the second batch of results:
http://www.atu2.com/news/u2-fan-survey-2012-second-set-of-results-posted.html
A couple highlights:
Forums are pretty popular. About 73 percent of all respondents said they're registered on at least one U2-related forum. But they're mostly lurkers because, in the follow-up question (C5), about 75 percent said they post less than once a month on forums. (Feel free to try the @U2 Forum if you want to join that 73 percent.)
Bono is loved. Edge is respected. Adam was a fashion mistake. Just like in 2010, this year's survey takers said Bono is their favorite U2 band member, but Edge is far and away the choice as most skilled musician in the band. This year, fans voted Adam's October-era afro as the worst fashion mistake in U2 history, a switch from 2010 when Bono's mid-80s mullet won that honor.
U2 has longevity left. Although the numbers are down a bit from 2010, about 66 percent of fans think U2 will still be together and making new music for at least the next eight years. (Bono and Adam will turn 60 years old in eight years, by the way.) In 2010, 74 percent of survey takers felt the band has at least eight years left.
Canadanne:
I don't really understand why that "worst fashion mistake" question is still there, with the same weird list of options every single time (most of which I don't regard as fashion mistakes at all, let alone the worst ever). Why is it significant that people now prefer Bono's mullet to Adam's afro...?? If we must have a question like this, surely it would make more sense to pick the best/worst dressed band member on the last tour or something - otherwise I don't see the point of repeatedly asking about it.
