That poll seems to jump around a lot suggesting it does not have a
large number of respondents or respondents who are voting more than
once.

In that poll, Java is also #1 not just #1 in growth.

Also doesn't much measure the things you'd expect. It appears to be
related to the number of results when searching for languages in various
discussion groups and settings.

one measure is how much shelf space each language gets at bookstores.
That measure tends to favour new technologies, (that may soon go bust)
but at least it favours ones that people are interested in.
