23% Name Pope Francis Most Influential, 21% Say Obama
Sunday, December 15, 2013
Time magazine named Pope Francis its “Person of the Year” last week, and nearly one-in-four Americans agrees with that pick.
Rasmussen Reports gave Americans a similar list of influential people worldwide, and 23% said Pope Francis was the most influential person in 2013. But the new national telephone survey finds that nearly as many (21%) felt President Obama was the most influential. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
