Oh, I forgot to answer your actual question. Slightly over 2/3 of people that prefer poly have 0 or 1 partners.

Edit: Although I guess this much was evident from the data if we assume that people that prefer mono won't have 2 or more partners. I guess the group that doesn't have a firm mono/poly preference (which I ignored entirely) could confuse things a bit.

Also, roughly 2/7 of people that prefer poly are single, while roughly 3/7 of people that prefer mono are.

Slightly over 2/3 of people that prefer poly have 0 or 1 partners.

So, people that prefer mono are more likely to have their preferred number of partners, but people who prefer poly have more partners.
