    No, I completely understand statistics.

    The only person having a difficult time with statistics is you.

    *sighs*

    OK, so you looked at a survey where people were asked to name any person in the world that they admire. You see that 17% of people responded by identifying Obama - the most for any one person - and you think, "LULZ, this means Obama is not liked!"

    Yippee Obama beat Trump 17 to 14.. Start a thread!!!!

    Then you have things like this
    But Clinton's and Obama's standings this year are more tenuous than in the past. The 9% who name Clinton is the lowest percentage she has received since 2002, when 7% named her in another close first-place finish. Clinton won the title this year in the same poll she registered a personal low favorable rating. This indicates she remains top of mind for enough people who like her to be named more than any other woman in response to the open-ended question, finishing ahead of some women who may be better liked overall but are not as prominent in people's minds.

    They admit its an open-ended question and some might vote for her out of prominence and not being "liked overall"..

    Read the article.

    FFS man - NO.

    The poll asked people to identify someone that they admire the MOST. They could name anyone. It does not mean that you do not admire someone just because you did not name them as the person you admire the most.

    Simple question Molon:

    If I ask you to name the person that you admire the most, and you tell me Jesus like a good Christian, does that mean that you do not admire Donald Trump?

    Those 83% were equally divided amongst who they most admired.(Frankly, IMO if someone doesn't answer their parents either their parents were abusive or something's wrong with them lol.) Never forget where you came from is a motto in life I've recently picked up.
