I did not say it was. Once again I am not saying there was anything wrong with the methodogy of the survey. In fact, I am not saying anything about the methodology.It was not a multiple choice question. Do you understand that? It was an open question to simply state which American you have read about or seen in the news or heard about you most admire. They were not fed the name of either Obama or Clinton. They were fed no names. It was an open question. You might bother to read the article before you decide on an opinion about the poll.I'm note suggesting that there was anything incorrect about the methodology of the poll. The only thing "singling out people" is the poll question itself. If 19% of the population worship Obama, of course they are going to pick Obama as their most admired man. That does not mean that there isn't another big chunk of the population that dispise Obama. A lot of people love Obama. A lot of people really dislike Obama (hate may be too strong of a word). People that dislike or hate Obama will be part of the 81% that do not pick him as their most admired man. Also, we don't know what part of the 81% that didn't pick Obama have a negative opinion of him from this poll because the survey did not have a question that would be useful for gathering that information.The people polled were not singled out for having one perspective or another about Obama and Clinton. If you are going to suggest or maintain that the poll singled out people who are a 'subgroup' who like Obama and Clinton, then please cite a link to that. It didn't happen, so you are essentially lying to suggest it did. They simply surveyed people across the country, a cross section of people, not singling out anyone for their specific views or political status.It shouldn't be surprising that a large subgroup find Obama and Hillary Clinton as their most admired Man and Woman. They are polarizing figures. There is most likely an equal or higher percentage of the population that dispise them. However, that is not what was surveyed.
You just can't accept the reality of the poll w/o pretending to yourself it was somehow rigged. Pathetic.
It was not a matter of 'picking' anyone AT ALL. They were not given a list of people to choose from. Read the article.
