The survey might have been setup so that there is a constant amount of respondents? After some point, you don't really need more.

However, judging by StackOverflow Trends [0], it's even dropping.

Purely anecdotal, but as someone learning Clojure I never post to SO. The slack channel is active enough to get an answer fast and to be honest SO is not a nice place to ask dumb questions.

Stackoverflow has always been a place where Clojure produces a weaker signal. Most people in the Clojure community ask questions elsewhere (irc in the old days, mailing list, Slack, clojure subreddit, clojureverse, etc). As Clojure has always had a very friendly and welcoming culture towards newcomers, people usually get their questions answered rapidly on these forums.
