I recall that they tried to advertise / describe the survey in a way that would minimize response bias—like, they didn’t say “COME TAKE OUR SURVEY ABOUT AI DOOM”. That said, I am nevertheless still very concerned about response bias, and I strongly agree that the OP’s wording “48% of researchers” is a mistake that should be corrected.
I figured this would be obvious enough, and both surveys discuss this issue; but phrasing things in a way that encourages keeping selection bias in mind does seem like a good idea to me. I’ve tweaked the phrasing to say “In a survey, X”.
