Here's why this is technically NOT propaganda. Propaganda is designed by or for the messenger in order to benefit the messenger.
PEW research, to my knowledge, has nothing to gain from the dissemination of this information. They are not fomenting a cause or promoting a product. They are not known to be a partner or fraternizer with any organization or party line that would benefit from this information. You may doubt its validity, but you cannot claim that it is propaganda.
Also, propaganda is typically best infused by appealing directly to emotion rather than logic. While there are types of propaganda that appeal to reason, they are considerably less effective.
