Data point: One of our Montreal LW meetup members showed us a picture and description pulled from his Bayes stats/analysis class, and the picture shows kiosks with the hippy bayes person and the straight-suited old-and-set-in-his-ways corporate clone, along with the general idea that frequentist thinking is good for long-term verification and reliability tests, but that people who promote frequentism over bayes when both are just as good are Doing Something Wrong (AKA sneer at the other tribe).
I don’t think anyone needs anecdotes that Bayesian approaches are more popular than ever before or are a bona fide approach; I’m interested in the precise claim that now a majority of grad students identify as Bayesians. That is the interest.

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding and going off on a tangent.
