Poll: Rush Is Most Influential Conservative

Sunday, 29 November 2009 07:21 PM EST

NEW YORK -- By a wide margin, Americans consider Rush Limbaugh the nation's most influential conservative voice.

Those are the results of a poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and Vanity Fair magazine and issued Sunday. The radio host was picked by 26 percent of those who responded, followed by Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck at 11 percent.

Two politicians _ as opposed to talk show hosts _ were the choices of 10 percent each. They're former Vice President Dick Cheney and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Asked to choose from among seven presidents, Americans tapped John F. Kennedy as the one they'd like to see added to Mount Rushmore. Kennedy polled 29 percent, with Ronald Reagan second at 20 percent.
