Ellen is America's Fav!

 

 

Ellen DeGeneres won the 39th Annual
People's Choice Award for
Best Daytime TV Host

Ellen DeGeneres took over her time slot, so the question is – can she beat Oprah's record 8 times as America's Favorite TV personality? Ellen DeGeneres could definitely do it, and with this year's rise from number 2 to number 1, this is the second time she's held the top spot on the list. NCIS's head agent, Mark Harmon, drops a spot to number 2, and after an intense political year where The Daily Show was required viewing for many, Jon Stewart remains at number 3.

Below are some of the results of The Harris Poll ^® of 2,128 adults surveyed online between December 12 and 18, 2012 by Harris Interactive®.

There are different chart-toppers for different groups. Men say Mark Harmon is their favorite, while for women it is Ellen DeGeneres.  Generations also have their favorites. Echo Boomers (those aged 18-35) and Gen Xers (36-47) say Ellen is their favorite, while for Baby Boomers (48-66) and Matures (67 and older) Mark Harmon is number 1.

There are definitely some partisan differences, as well. Bill O'Reilly is the favorite for Conservatives, but for Republicans he ties for that honor along with DeGeneres. Ellen is also tops for Democrats, but for Liberals the favorite is Jon Stewart. Mark Harmon is independents' favorite, and he ties with Ellen as the favorite TV personality among Moderates.

Regionally, Ellen is the favorite in the Midwest, South and West, but in the East Mark Harmon and Jon Stewart tie for the top position. For those with a college degree it is Bill O'Reilly, and for those with a post-graduate degree it is Jon Stewart.

We love Ellen! #livegrand #powerwoman
