"Current PHP openings are more than likely for legacy web development."
That's quite a massive assumption. If we do a job search on startup-specific job boards, (like startuply.com and startuphire.com), you'll see the same sort of thing. On Statuply, "php" returns 280 hits, "rails" 121 and "django" 35. On StartUpHire, "php" 458, "rails" 119, "django" 9.
Long story short, don't believe every poll you read on the internet.
Also, don't take this as me talking bad about Django; it's a great framework and programming is not a popularity contest.

I would meter Mindshare as the number of new applications being developed in each of the respective frameworks.
