When you look at the breakdown you see that: BHO get 54% among Democrats, but that drops off to 25% among independents. Remember he got big time support from Independents in 08′.

To Glenn Beck, congrats 3% is a start and you beat out some pretty important people among independents. That 3% can go either way next year so we will see, but in response to Karl.
Even Jesus knew when to lay off the Doughnuts.

Yes it’s 3%. but he’s the only media guy to do it. And, you know it’s going to drive Olbytub & Pawn Vannity nuts.

Barack Obama gets 7%, John Mc Cain gets only 3%, AMONG REPUBLICANS! How’s that new reaching across the isle working for ya boys?

In the women: Hillary gets mention across the board as does Michelle Obama! While Palin gets two out of three (unless you want to consider this from gallop). “… while Palin barely registers any mentions from Democrats.” Where’s da luv? A mention is 1% ain’t it?

Speaking of…….While Democrats made it into the Republican side of the voting. No Republicans made it into the Democrat side. Where’s that ‘Big Tent’ at?

Big Surprise has to be Beck (Guess those Barbara Walters Specials still work). But watch it Glenn, the long knives will be out everywhere!

Well Karl, I kind of agree with you, Glenn Beck is like Jesus except he cries a lot more and lives in a multi-million dollar mansion. But sure, I can see the similarities.

I find it interesting that Barack Obama is 10x as admired as Nelson Mandela.

Something else which may be telling from the linked results; When broken down by political party, three of the "most admired" among Democrats have famously had "indiscretions", while three of those among Republicans are religious leaders, if you include Beck.

This country is a big place, with a lot of people and not everyone likes the same thing, the same people, etc. Admiration isn’t exclusive to only those approved of by the likes of roxsteady and Karl Spensen.

When you grow up, you’ll understand you aren’t the only one in the world.

I guess P.T. Barnum was right! What can you expect from an uneducated and clearly manic depressive dolt? Personally, this liberal thinks all that crying is just plan girlie! Suck it up you lunatic!

YES because GLENN BECK is just like JESUS!!1 Hear me out!!1 He gives PASSIONATE speeches which UPSET the POWERS THAT BE!!1 He is constantly PERSECUTED and “CRUCIFIED” by the mainstream!!1 He inspires a RELIGIOUS fervor in his followers, who would do ANYTHING he said!!1 And someday, he will lead his ARMIES to take back our Once Proud Republic – by FORCE if necessary!!1

PS – Obviously these results were TAMPERED WITH by the notoriously LIBERAL Gallup company, since the SOCIOFASCIST Obamessiah is #1??!!1 PLEASE!!1
