That's a remarkable misinterpretation of the survey.

> Eighteen percent of the survey's respondents named Trump as their most admired man, compared to 15 percent who named Obama and 6 percent who named President-elect Joe Biden.

Going from "named the most admired by a plurality" to "the most admired" is exactly the same flaw as in first-past-the-post voting.

Good point there, split between Obama and Biden. But there's only one like trump, and his fans are very passionate. That's what worked for him in 2016 too.

There was another survey in November where Biden was slightly ahead of Trump, however.

at least that voting was in 2020 not 2021.
