President Palmer of the TV series, 24, played by Dennis Haysbert was the winner of an online survey of America’s favorite on-screen presidents, sponsored by Blockbuster.com.

Palmer took 17 percent of the vote of Blockbuster.com visitors polled on their fantasy pick for a third presidential candidate to be added to the 2008 ballot.  Mackenzie Allen of Commander in Chief played by Geena Davis, and Josiah Bartlet of West Wing, played by Martin Sheen, both earned 16 percent of the vote.

The October 2008 survey recorded more than 9,000 responses and was designed to find out what the American people would like to see transferred over from an on-screen president to the real White House, according to Blockbuster.
