Here's the survey results: http://www.vrg.org/blog/2011/12/05/h...an-in-the-u-s/
Quick summary: 5% of Americans said they never eat meat, fish, seafood, or poultry. About half of these also don't eat dairy or eggs.
So ~2.5% OL or lacto, ~2.5% vegan (in diet at least).
This survey was designed specifically to avoid the problem sometimes seen in other surveys by specifically enumerating the foods never eaten rather than using terms which are more open to individual interpretation. The Vegetarian Resource Group designed the survey.
