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 it has to be a woman, why not President James Buchanan?
Every time I receive a $10 as change; I’ll ask for two fives instead, and I will explain why.
Heddy Lamarr. Famous actress, genius, WW2 weapon designer, inventor of WiFi, and a true American patriot.
It should be a run off between the top two. I bet Harriet Tubman wins. This is a real opportunity for a GOP contender to come out hard for Harriet Tubman. “Why not an African-American, anti-slaver and 2nd Amendment supporter? It’s about time.”
I was keeping it American, but the Iron Lady of Britain would work.
Abigail Adams would have been my choice.
Ugly as Sin but she had a major part in FDRs 4 terms and helped to set up the UN and started Civil Rights. Better choice that others listed. she would be OK—if we must have a woman—make it a good one who helped lead nation.
But he’s a dead white guy, not PC at all.
They have destroyed the education system that used to teach us about our heritage, now they have to destroy the left over symbols.
You know that FDR and Eleanor were cousins, right.
Did you spend the weekend in ORegon or Colorado?

The highest tech outdoor facility designed just when indoor outhouses were taking over.
Yep, both from the Democrat side of the family. The Hyde Park Roosevelts, as opposed to the Oyster Bay side (TR, Alice, Kermit, etc.). As far as I know none of their children ever took up the banjo.
But did they have all their teeth?.
I wouldn’t expect a banjo, more likely a violin, the rich mans fiddle.
I’d vote for Lucille Ball if that option had been offered.
I think Monica Lewinsky should be on the $10.00 bill. Something to haunt the Klintoons forever.
Nothing like having an ugly lesbian (ER) on our money...
What happened to this country? If we have to put a woman on $10, it should be Marilyn Monroe.
