Sharepoint Survey Hide response from the end user

Add the survey list to the web part pages as the ListView web part
Modify the Webpart  Settings.
Web part settings Edit –> Modify Shared Web Part
Under the Selected View —> Change the View to “Summary View”
Then provide the contributor-level permissions to the users, who want to participate in the survey
Now it won’t show the option for Graphical Responses for everyone it will just show the total number of responses.
If you want to get back old-view, just flip the view back to “Overview”
However the user could still click the title of the Survey & get access to the survey results that way, so to prevent this you need to edit your survey webpart & make the following changes to the settings –
View – Summary View (this should already be done from the steps above)
Toolbar Type – Summary Toolbar
Chrome Type – None
Now users can vote & see the total number of votes overall but cannot see the number of responses for each answer.
