Not really. Racism, iirc, is defined as discrimination and/or antagonism against a race/races, so I don’t think demographic grouping counts.

Racism is defining something. Or assuming something. Or judging something. Based on race. It doesn’t even have to be a negative.

It’s just a way to categorize. If it’s done by race? It’s based on an assumption of that race.

You’re not even making sense. Usually surveys are self-identifying and you can choose not to disclose your race if you want.

Exactly. If one were to survey approval ratings from those aged 18-24, that wouldn’t be ageist.

If the purpose of asking was in order to make up a way to rope that age group into some sort of “plan”? Then I’d say it probably would have a flavor of ageism going for it.

What are you talking about “some sort of plan”? What does that even mean? It’s a statistic. You can interpret however you want, but it’s actually a neutral thing.
