I have taken a break over 1.5 year ago, since I mained PvE TR and found this class way more fun than any other, but it was pretty hard to find a party and even if I felt I was not useful enough, provided how much effort it cost me to refine my toon.
However I kept looking at forum every now and then and this thread brought my attention, since it could tell me how TRs are nowadays. Glimpsing at other threads it seems that party balance has not changed - 4 supports + dps is still optimum, and doing anything with less than 3 supports is uncomfortable and inefficient - this already puts a DPS class in bad position.
However TR data seems to be confusing: 1. It has lowest DPS out of DPS classes 2. At best mediocre survivability 3. Its by far the least useful class 4. Its as fun to play as other classes, except of HRs that top everybody else 5. Its considered least popular class
Yet Its considered as main by most amount of players.
But
Its, equally with GWF, second least played character. How is that possible?
Also - I didnt have opportunity to see the survery, but could you tell me what does "mean" and "mode" mean?
Don't forget this survey has been likely more completed by "whiny" people who ask for the attention of the developers. When your class is fine (even if there are some bugs here and there), you don't need to go to the ARC forum.
In this survey, I think that TRs and SWs are overepresentated in this sample for a reason.

Not stated in the best of ways, but a very real possibility, yes. Popularity wasn't asked to prove actual population (Cryptic can just query their database for that) it was meant to determine perceived population, and noticeability.
