—Jeremiah 2:19
Editors note about this article•Didn’t John Lenon and the Beatles think this also.
In the first such survey, in 2001, Jesus was first, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., was second and former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell was third. Obama wasn’t mentioned.
Now, after the president, Jesus and King, the new top 10 includes former U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln; U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.; former President John F. Kennedy; hero airline pilot Chesley Sullenberger; and humanitarian Mother Teresa. God was 11th, the poll said.
The most mentioned reason for making the list (89 percent) was “Doing what’s right regardless of personal consequences.”
Poll officials said the survey was conducted among 2,634 U.S. adults who answered spontaneously in contacts Jan. 12-19.

As much as I respect some of the names mentioned, I will put my trust & faith in no one but the Creator of the universe & the Author & Finisher of my salvation!

LORD HELP US!! This is exactly what is wrong with America today. We need more of Jesus and less of these ungodly people that know nothing about Jesus or the bible. All I know to do is pray and say Come Lord Jesus come.

This shows how really desperate the heathens are for a hero.

I guess I should answer more of my HarrisPoll surveys. I could’ve voted for Jesus and make a small impact on the stats! I really only reliably answer the NPDOR surveys because the HarrisPoll ones are typically much longer.

Fairly messed up when the same Person comes in 2nd and 11th in the same poll.
