The new President is huge, he may well be the most popular person ever. This is however, all based on one little poll (that was conducted online to boot) so slice it how you like and then break out the salt.

Caveats notwithstanding, the Harris Poll asked adults to name people they admired enough to consider their heroes Barack Obama topped the list, followed by Jesus Christ, and Martin Luther King (I'm guessing people technically meant Jr.).

For more information on the poll and it's history as well as the methodology used and a disclaimer about the popularity of Jesus vs Obama, read the Harris release.
