Oprah, Hillary, Superwoman got nothin’ on Mom! Survey says: Mom’s the real superhero

March 27, 2008

In a recent Teleflora/AmericasFavoriteMom.com survey, Mom came out the big winner.

The survey polled 2,500 adults, asking them whom they would choose as a true female superhero.

Mom was the top choice for 53% of participants.

Oprah Winfrey came in a distant second, snaring 8% of the votes.

Superwoman was the pick for 6%.

Hillary Clinton was tops with 5% of those surveyed.

The poll was conducted by Harris Interactive with a margin of error of 1.96 percentage points.

Speaking of voting, the America’s Favorite Mom contest has drawn a lot of compelling candidates. Luckily, there are lots of ways to win cash and prizes as well as chances to appear on NBC-TV. “Most Inspiring Mom” is the theme for the March online contest and the winner will receive $5,000.

If you know a great lady who also happens to be a Mom, get busy and get her nominated! Ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound not required. Still, a cape could be cute …
