Survey Says...Americans Want Bill Clinton for Christmas!

Toy Company Survey Takes Pulse of Americans

Americans want more of Bill Clinton and liken their next President to a popular military action figure, according to a survey conducted in New York's Times Square for the launch of Mega Bloks' new Nano Building System(TM).

Despite a tight Presidential race between Bush and Kerry, the President Americans are still talking about is Bill Clinton. Most (40%) of the people who participated in the informal Mega Bloks survey, conducted over a period of three days last week, said they would like to see a new Bill Clinton toy on the shelves this Christmas. Martha Stewart was the second choice, with 24% of respondents. Paris Hilton tied for third choice with Michael Jackson (16%).

Participants were also asked "If the next president was a toy, what toy would you like him to be?" Most (44%) chose GI Joe -- three times more than wanted the next president to be a teddy bear (14%).

The poll also suggests that New Yorkers maintain a soft spot for their landmarks. Participants were asked which famous US landmark they would like to see become a building-block toy. More than half of respondents chose Manhattan's towering Empire State Building. The Hoover Dam was the second choice (24% of respondents) and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge got the nod from 18%.
