The Harris Poll just came out with their list, after surveying 2,252 U.S. adults surveyed online between December 9 and 14, 2015.
The top spot should come of no suprise to many, although I personally do not like the man…. he is Tom Hanks
Number two is Johnny Depp.
Rounding out the top five are
Denzel Washington followed by John Wayne and then at number five is Harrison Ford
What I found interesting was this table:

I am not going to comment on anything other than to say Millennials...Adam Sandler...really.
So, what do you think of the results? What about the break-down by sub-category?
Some people, like Tom Hanks seem to be universally popular. Others, like Clint Eastwood seem to be popular only for certain populations.
