Я согласен с опросом в некотором смысле.   I agree with the survey whole–heartedly. Я всей душой согласен с опросом.	I’m afraid I have to disagree with the survey. К сожалению, мне придется не согласиться с опросом.   I couldn’t disagree more with it. Никак не могу согласиться с этим.   With all respect, I disagree. При всем уважении к вам я не согласен.   I disagree with the survey on every point. Я не согласен с опросом по всем пунктам.

Or

With all respect to the data of the survey I disagree. I think that to succeed in a university a student, first of all, must have natural talent and self-discipline.
