The survey is spot on.

My bad. I looked at this and must have conflated the headline for the previous month with the independent middle line below.

Here's data for US adults: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-07/u-s-reaches-75-of-adults-with-at-least-one-vaccine-dose

Still, you can see that vaccination seemingly moved backwards at some points when it was relatively flat, which proves this kind of data can still fall prey to reversion to mean even when it's adjusted against official data and/or previous poll respondents.

How was the survey that found out more people that had been vaccinated than the official count normalized? It would be hard to know for sure it was done properly. Have government officials commented on it, or do they focus instead there's a lot of vaccine-reluctant people?
