Actually, it isn't that surprising that Hillary topped the list. It should be noted that Hillary didnt "beat" Laura, it's just that there was only one Liberal woman that people could think of, but several conservative women. Add up the ConWomen (Bush, Barb Bush, Condi Rice, and Marg. Thatcher and they get over 20% combined. So, the conservative female contigency wipes out the left contigency, which consists of one broad.
Shhh, people want to believe that 13% name identification makes Hillary unbeatable. Common sense has no place here.
The reality is as you stated. No one comes close to the President in his ranking. The closest is Bill at 6 %! While Oprah, Condi and Laura are all very near Hillary AND only Oprah is competitive in amount of face time given to register on the public's radar. Even Maggie and Barbara at 3% and 2% respectively barely rank beneath Bill.
To me, this isn't encouraging news for Hillary. This poll is largely centered among name recall, in this she should have a far higher percentage of name recognition among her Liberal constituents. Yet only 13% overall ranked her number one with a talk show host almost pulling even? A respectful showing would have had her in the top teens at least.
