We have polls for everything and now prediction markets where we can bet money on almost anything.

Dolly Parton is the most admired non-political person in the US right now — Parton is widely seen as authentic and kind—qualities Americans consistently rank as most important in admired individuals.  Recent data suggests she holds a higher favorability rating than almost any living politician or athlete, often described by pollsters as “virtually untouchable” in terms of public affection.

People admire Dolly because she is a rare “triple threat”: a world-class artist, a brilliant business mogul, and a humanitarian who puts her money where her heart is—all while remaining the most charming person in the room.
