As America heads to the polls, US voters remain sharply divided in their view of President Obama with an equal number of voters naming him as the candidate they would most like both to fly their plane and eject from it (with a parachute, of course)!
Take a look at the just-for-fun survey the Cheapflights team put together in honour of the 2012 Presidential Election.
We asked American travellers which political figures they’d want to pilot their plane – and which they’d like to throw off.
We presented 19 well-known figures – Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Herman Cain, Dan Quayle, Joe Biden, Paul Ryan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Stephen Colbert, Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, John Edwards – for ‘voters’ to consider.
The results: Barack Obama won both. Take a look further at which individuals voters favoured:
And didn’t favour:
The survey, while lighthearted, offers some revealing results about leadership and likability for candidates past and present. Do you think party affiliations or individual preferences are driving the results? Let us know on Twitter: @Cheapflights.
