There is nothing inherently wrong with the wording of the sentence but (assuming that you've already made reference to your surveys) a simple heading such as 'Survey Results:" would be more elegant. (Note the use of the colon, after 'Results', to signify that listed information follows).

If you intend to keep your original sentence (or something close to it), a pedant might suggest that 'results' should be followed by 'of', rather than 'from'.
