Assuming that this poll had adequate population sampling I am left wondering if our country is of two minds (perhaps schizophrenic) because these two are just about as "polar opposites" it would seem in both principle and ideology than anybody. And yet they share the same poll results.
What am I missing?
And yes, if I ever cheated on my wife (even just once) I would not be here to even beg for forgiveness. I would be a dead man or at least banished to the proverbial great wilderness never to return....

Okay. In my lifetime we have had the following Presidents:
Dwight D. Eisenhower
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon B. Johnson
Richard M. Nixon
Gerald R. Ford
Jimmy E. Carter
Ronald R. Reagan
George H. Bush
Bill J. Clinton
George W. Bush
I look at every name on the list above and see individuals who are less than perfect but somehow got elected to the nation's highest office. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. We have a nation of individuals who through their action or inaction have allowed the above individuals to serve as President.
It is obvious with the last election we have a country "split in the middle" over many issues. Perhaps this is why we have two very different persons ranked as "most admired" in a recent poll? It reflects the nation's dichotomy.
