Best Fictional U.S. President

In honor of Presidents' Day, we ran a poll asking "Who's the best fictional U.S. president?"

The overwhelming winner with 39% of the vote?

Josiah "Jed" Bartlet from "West Wing."

Next was 9% saying "Other"—which usually meant "Trump" or "Obama" in the comments.

While Bartlet may not have been a surprise, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th choices raised a few brows:

Frank Underwood from "House of Cards" with 8%.

Thomas J. Whitmore from "Independence Day" with 7%.

James Marshall from Air Force One with 6%.

There's still time to vote. Cast your ballot here.
