In fairness, my memory of the philpapers survey is that there is more consensus amongst professional philosophers on scientific realism than on almost any other philosophical theory. (Though that’s going by the old survey, haven’t looked at the more recent one yet.) Although of course there are prominent philosophers of science who are anti-realist.
53.64% accept or lean towards classical logic (although that doesn’t tell us whether the philosophers think it has normative force).
I will say that PhilPapers has a rather small sample size and mostly collects data on english speaking philosophers, so I find it probable that these results are not representative of philosophers as a whole.

True, here are the results you’re talking about:
His views are moderately popular in general with:
51.37% accept or lean towards correspondence
51.93% accept or lean towards physicalism
30.56% accept or lean towards consequentialism
53.64% accept or lean towards classical logic (although that doesn’t tell us whether the philosophers think it has normative force).

That’s true, I would only really trust the survey for what analytic philosophers think.
