In a Facebook poll of 8,313 respondents, 47% chose “Betty White”. How we count

· Share: ···

Betty White grabbed a 37-point lead over Cloris Leachman on day one and never let go — no lead change, ever, across 451 days. Instead of fading, White's margin kept climbing: 36% early, 39% by day 100, 44% past day 200, finally 47% at the finish, 3909 votes to Leachman's 1836.

The rest of the field never got close. Shirley MacLaine's 5.2% was the best of the other fifteen names, with Vicki Lawrence, Olympia Dukakis and Phyllis Diller all clustered under 4%. Nearly every write-in vote came from the US, with women outvoting men roughly 4-to-1 on the top two names — a runaway built early and defended for over a year.

  • Zero lead changes · White led wire-to-wire across all 451 days — never once passed.
  • The slow squeeze · White's margin grew from 37% on day 1 to 47% by the end.
  • Gender lopsided · White drew 614 women to just 28 men among gendered votes.
  • US-dominated field · 416 of the top-country votes came from the United States alone.
