Well, admittedly, the corporations makign GMOs are generally opposed to the labelling of GM products. This stance doesn't help educate people on the subject.

OTOH, their reasoning is pretty clearly explained by the survey you referenced. They're justifiably afraid of a knee-jerk reaction fueled by the general ignorance, fear, and outright paranoia people have about GM crops. So they've spent the last 10 years coming in under the radar. There's hardly any point in labelling GM foods anymore: if it comes in plastic, it probably has something.
