Eleanor Roosevelt is the current front-runner in the race to earn a spot on the soon-to-be redesigned $10 bill, according to a McClatchy-Marist poll released Wednesday.
The poll showed that more than one in four Americans (27%) are hoping that when the U.S. Treasury Department unveils the new design, the former first lady will be the woman featured.
African-American abolitionist Harriet Tubman is the second most popular choice with 17% of the vote, followed by Native American explorer Sacagawea with 13%.

If they absolutely have to have a woman on the soon to be worthless $10 bill ... you would think that the idiots could come up with a better choice!
Ugh—better Harriet Tubman.
As far as I know Harriet did only good, no harm.
PUKE
Oh joy.
A Communist lesbian.
the new face must be an old President
Just do a series of stamps and get over it.
When Grump was asked which great woman he answered “his mother”
what do you have against Lucille Ball?
Might as well put a horse on the bill. Way more attractive looking.
I’d rather have two $5 bills.
Rosalind Franklin.
Seriously.
Trump. Hate this new device its autocorrect is
No worries. It could be 99% to 1% and they’ll stick pick the minority.
If ever there were a bill that would be fighting to get out of my trousers, it would be a an Ellie.
No. Just no. We have plenty of U.S. Presidents not on currency to choose from. Use one of them. Plenty of founding fathers, too.
How about an Ike 10-spot? Or Calvin Coolidge? Or maybe Patrick Henry?
A Communist lesbian.
Did you really think it would go any other way?
I would think a better choice would be. Mary Ann Bickerdyke (Mother Bickerdyke). The chief of all nursing during the civil war she worked wonders for wounded troops and worked tirelessly, as a lawyer, on behalf of veterans after the war. When staff complained to General Sherman about her forceful attitude and behavior, he merely threw up his hands and said, “There’s nothing I can do boys, she ranks me”.
My pick: Phyllis Schlafly.
And at least Harriet was a Republican.
Gotta play the race card if we want Harriet.
Hey, those of you who dont want Harriet, you’re all a bunch of racists!
Because she accomplished so many things equal to the level of Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson.
